Endurance
Endurance is the stat that governs Stamina. Each point adds 5 Stamina to the character's pool. Because sprint, dodge, heavy attacks, perfect blocks, and power attacks all drain the same bar, community guides rank Endurance as the single most impactful early-game stat.
Effect Per Point
+5 Max Stamina per point.
Does not affect stamina regen rate; only the total pool size.
Stacks additively with Coffee (+20 Endurance) and Marathon Runner talent (up to +50 Stamina).
Why Endurance Comes First
Windrose combat rewards dodge-heavy play. A full dodge consumes a meaningful chunk of stamina, and chaining three dodges in a row is common against bosses with combo attacks like Thomas Richards. Running out of stamina during a boss combo is typically fatal, so the extra pool headroom from Endurance converts directly into mistakes you can afford to make.
Even ranged builds benefit: reload animations and the kick recoil from Blunderbuss shots tap stamina, and repositioning between shots relies on sprint.
