Sprinting Consumes Stamina

Take note that sprinting will deplete your Stamina as you use it. Your Stamina meter is the yellow bar that can be found at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Stamina is used for dodging and attacking, so be mindful of this if you decide to sprint towards an enemy. Running out of stamina can make you more sluggish and vulnerable.
