Stamina in Monster Hunter World Iceborne is a player resource which is spent by performing various tasks such as dashing, attacking, dodging, or climbing.
Hunter Stamina is represented visually by a yellow bar situated at the top of the screen, below the green Health bar. As stamina is depleted, the yellow part will shrink to the left, revealing a black background.
If a hunter does not have enough stamina to perform an action that requires it, they cannot perform it. Once a hunter has expended all their stamina, they will become exhausted and has to stop and gasp for air until their stamina has replenished. Stamina will replenish over time while the hunter is not engaging in activities that consume stamina, in addition some consumable items can recover lost stamina, such as Energy Drink. Some items or skills may even increase the hunter's stamina beyond their Stamina Maximum.
Stamina Maximum is the current maximum of stamina the hunter can hold, this maximum can be raised to the Stamina Capacity. The hunter's Stamina Maximum will naturally decreases by 25 every 15 minutes out in the field, but this effect can be altered by various means. After a hunter faints or finishes their hunt, their Stamina Maximum will reset to 100 and must be raised again before/during the next hunt.
Stamina Capacity, or Cap, is a value representing how much stamina a hunter can hold as a maximum. If the hunter consumes an item that raises Stamina Maximum, the hunter's Stamina Maximum will not increase beyond this limit. There are some ways of increasing Stamina Cap, for example equipping items granting certain skills.
