Best way to give an enemy a heart/life system

Hey everyone, I'm currently making a defense game, where the player stops a forever spawning enemies from crossing a line behind the player by either shooting at it or hitting in close range.
Some of the enemy character types are harder to kill, the player has to hit them 2-3 times for it to get killed.
My question is, what is the best way to do this?
My first thought was to make a new integer attribute for the enemy actor, name it for instance self.heart and simply give it -1 each hit, and destroy it when it reach 0. But the problem now is this, since this is a continuosly spawning enemy, what can I do to reset the self.heart attribute back to the original value for each newly spawned enemy?
Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!

If it is self.Heart, then every spawned enemy has its own self...
You're right! Thank you for your answer @pHghost
