Stamina Thief is a Skill in Monster Hunter World (MHW).
Stamina Thief Effect
Stamina Thief is increased in level based on the amount of Equipment with this skill the hunter is using. Each level works as follows:
Level 1: Exhaust power +20%
Level 2: Exhaust power +30%
Level 3: Exhaust power +40%
Level 4: Exhaust power +50% (requires Stamina Thief Secret)
Level 5: Exhaust power +60% (requires Stamina Thief Secret)
Stamina Thief affects any attack that deals exhaust damage. Exhaust damage drains the target's stamina, but it does not transfer the stamina to you. Weapons that deal exhaust damage include any blunt/impact attack hitting the monster's body (every weapon except Longsword, Dual Blades, and Insect Glaive). Exhaust ammo only deals exhaust damage when hitting the body.

Insect Glaive can deal blunt damage with the Pheromone Swing/Kinsect (Mark Target), and one of the hits from Decending Thrust (Midair R2); not to mention Kinsects with Blunt damage types.

Bow caltrops deal exhaust dmg, {the raining crap from the sky}, and its effect is increased by crit. one of the most effective stamina drain builds in the game is aloys war bow augmented for crit and the enervate charm 3. its an excellent way to slow down tempered deviljho, however anytime a monster enrages they are immune to drain and will have full stamina agian when they come out of enrage

Please specify which weapon deals this kind of damage and which does not, dont be in middle by saying "Increases certain attacks' ability". BTW, does bowgun's pierce shot deal exhaust damage?

Shield bashes do as well but not as effective. If you max the skill it’s kind of ok

welp im not sure about that one but i think some bow attacks do exh dmg cause i got a lot of situations where boss were just standing in place or looked too tired to use some of his abilities at the end or middle of the fight

Exhaust damage is a sub-category of Impact damage ;
Impact damage to the head will do KO damage, Impact damage to the rest of the body deals Exhaust damage.
Also, breaking parts with any damage type/weapon will deal Exhaust damage.
Hammers, Hunting Horns and weapons with Impact/Exhaust phials are the most common sources of this damage type.
Hope this helps.

Monsters have an invisible "stamina gauge" that is drained by exhaust attacks. Once that gauge is depleted, the monster begins drooling and may stand still, move slower, or be unable to use certain attacks, e.g, Rathian failing to shoot fire. Blunt weapons like Hammer and Hunting Horn deal both Stun and Exhaust, Hammer specializing in Stun and HH in Exhaust. Some other attacks like environment damage, staggers, breaks, tail cuts, and knocking out of the air may also deal exhaust damage, but you may not see the monster actually become exhausted if you're not using a blunt weapon.

apart from bowgun ammo and exhaust phials, the hunting horn will do great exhaust damage. Hammer does KO while HH does uxhaust, so definitley skill in stam thief to a horn build if you can! to fully answer your question though, exhaust damage will
come from discharge attacks used in sword mode with an exhaust phial, using exhaust ammo, and to my knowledge using hunting horn in general as long as your hitting the head or legs

"Stamina Thief - Increases certain attacks' ability to exhaust monsters." Which attacks exhaust monsters? is it weapon-specific? Power attacks? etc.?
Should I pair this up with my Charge Blade? Would it worl?
