Manage Stamina Effectively During Combat

How Stamina Works

Every attack, block, and dodge consumes stamina. When stamina depletes, you become vulnerable and cannot perform actions. Managing your stamina pool is critical to winning prolonged duels.

Stamina Conservation Strategies

• Don't spam attacks: Each strike costs stamina. Pause between combos to let it regenerate
• Block selectively: Blocking drains stamina faster than attacking. Only block when necessary
• Use thrusts wisely: Different damage types have different stamina costs—experiment to find efficient patterns
• Retreat and recover: Back away from enemies to regain stamina safely

Building Stamina-Efficient Combos

1. Land 2-3 quick attacks in your preferred direction

2. Pause to let stamina recover partially

3. Repeat the pattern rather than exhausting yourself

4. Watch your stamina bar—never let it fully empty in active combat

5. Learn which weapon types regenerate stamina fastest for your playstyle

Heavy weapons drain more stamina but deal more damage, while lighter weapons allow faster recovery and more frequent attacks.
