How Do Weapon Stamina and Weapon Technique Work?

This guide explains how do Weapon Stamina and Technique work in Horizon Forbidden West. Read on to learn how they relate to each other.

How Does Weapon Stamina Work?

Used for Weapon Techniques

Weapon Stamina is the orange gauge bar on the lower right part of the screen that is consumed when using Weapon Techniques. You can recover Weapon Stamina after waiting some time to pass by. There is also Stamina Regen skills that will let you get it back faster.

How Does Weapon Technique Work?

Uses a Weapon's Secondary Ability

A Weapon Technique is an unlockable weapon skill in the Skill Tree. Every weapon type has a Weapon Technique available, and you can freely choose from them, assuming you already have the required weapon type. It consumes a portion of your Weapon Stamina each time you use it.

To use a Weapon Technique, select the weapon you want to use from the Weapon Wheel L1 button. Next while holding the L2 button to aim, hold the R1 button and release it to use the Weapon Technique. If done successfully you should see the expected attack animation and your Weapon Stamina will be somewhat reduced.
