There a 3 resources that you must manage in order to be successful:
Health
Mana
Stamina
Rendering attacks and abilities consumes a combination of mana and stamina.
You can hover-over your actions (in the bottom-left) to view their required resources:
In the example above, we can see that Enchanted Surge
consumes 18 mana and 0.75 stamina.
Every character has a max Stamina
of 1.0
and each ability consumes varying fractions of stamina — or what we call stamina shards
.
Each .10
stamina equates to 1 stamina shard
, so in the example above, Shadow Strike consumes 5 stamina shards
(0.5
stamina), i.e., half of total stamina.
Each character has a speed attribute, which also plays a role in how fast stamina regenerates. By default (prior to speed and other variables), each character regenerates 1 stamina shard
(0.1
) stamina per 1 second (1000ms) — this means stamina will regenerate from 0
to 1.0
in 10 seconds (prior to other influences).
