Stamina
What is Stamina?
There are two ways that a Hunter can become exhausted and lose Stamina: by sprinting, and by performing melee attacks.
These two types of exhaustion have two separate stamina pools.
Sprint Stamina
Your Hunter will become audibly out of breath as your Sprint Stamina depletes. A lung icon will also appear. Once you stop sprinting, your Sprint Stamina will automatically begin to regenerate.
Your Sprint Stamina cannot regenerate while you are depleting Combat Stamina and vice versa.
Combat Stamina
Combat Stamina is indicated by a yellow bar below your Health Chunks, and depletes each time you perform an attack with melee weapons or throwable Tools. When you run out of Combat Stamina, you can no longer perform heavy attacks and your melee attack speed slows significantly, though the amount of damage from each attack remains the same. Combat Stamina regenerates automatically over time once you stop attacking.
