Lords Of The Fallen: How To Backstab & Stagger Enemies
The stagger and posture mechanic in Lords of the Fallen is a little hard to understand. Here is how it works.
Stamina is even more useful as every single action in the game requires a certain amount of Stamina to work. Having at least a sliver of Stamina at all times is absolutely crucial to have the option to dodge a surprise attack from a hidden enemy.

How To Increase Health
There are two ways to increase your Health in Lords of the Fallen.
Increase Vitality Stat
Amongthe six statsplayers can upgrade ateach level up,only Vitality increases the player’s overall Healthalongside theircarry weight, defenses, and resistances. Each point intoVitality increases your character’s HP by around 20-21 points. While not a massive increase, it is nonetheless optimal to put at least some points into Vitality to bring it around 15-20 points to allow room for some mistakes.
Certain items in the game have the effect of increasing the player’s Vitality and increasing their HP pool as a result.

Both the Ring of Duty and the Defaced Ring increase Vitality, but the Ring of Duty is available for a limited time as Stomund will only stay at Skyrest until you clear two of the five beacons. Be sure to buy anything you need from him before that point.
Queen Verena II’s Ring has the unique effect of regenerating Health over time, making it one of the best rings in the game for any play style.

How To Increase Stamina
In Lords of the Fallen, every form of damage requires Stamina to use. Be it melee weapons, throwables, or magic, you need Stamina in order to perform that action.Stamina is extremely important for heavy weapon users in particularas those types of weapons require a massive Stamina pool to be used effectively. Like Health, there are onlytwo ways to increase Stamina.
Increase Endurance Stat
TheEndurance Stat governs Stamina and Carryweight, alongside the standard increase in defenses and resistances that come with each level up, regardless of which stat you pick.
Endurance is almost never a dump stat, and players will always want to haveat least 15 points in itto give them the ability to dodge in fights.

Just like Vitality, certain items increase Stamina by increasing the Endurance stat.
