Endurance determines player's maximum stamina. Stamina is needed to attack and to defend. Bloodborne rewards players who attack frequently, so this is a very important stat to level up. Endurance also increases player's resistance to both Slow and Rapid Poison.

Stamina is an important resource. Attacking, rolling, dashing, backstepping, and quickstepping all consume stamina; if you don't have enough, you won't be able to perform those actions Being unable to roll or quickstep is a huge problem, as those are your primary means of defense.

Your stamina regenerates naturally over time, but it won't regenerate while you are running, attacking, rolling, etc. Shooting firearms doesn't consume stamina, but it does pause stamina regeneration. Using items does not interfere with your stamina regeneration. Always watch your stamina closely. If it gets low, try to either back away from the enemy or get behind it. Look for a safe spot where you can wait while your stamina refills. Quickstepping, rolling, and backstepping all cost 10 points of stamina.

Blood of Arianna and Hunter Oath Caryll Rune increase stamina regeneration as shown in the gifs (right).

No matter how much stamina your attacks costs, you can perform it as long as you have at least one point of stamina. The problem, though, is that your stamina will go into negative numbers, and you won't be able to take any action that consumes stamina until it recovers! This unfortunately includes rolling and quickstepping. You'll be absolutely helpless until you recover. You'll just need to wait until your stamina comes back.

There are many ways you can avoid this. One is by increasing your stamina, either by improving your endurance or equipping Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis Runes. Another is to raise your stamina regeneration by slotting the Hunter Oath Rune, equipping Radiant gems, or using Arianna's Blood. Or, you could simply be careful not to attack when your stamina is low! If you do find yourself in a negative stamina situation, remember you can still defend yourself by walking under or away from enemy attacks. It isn't ideal, but you might be surprised what can be dodged without even rolling.

Diminishing Returns is a common concept in RPGs, meaning that for a given investment, i.e. one point in a stat, you receive a smaller benefit, e.g. fewer hit points per point in the HP stat.
