UFC 5 Stamina Tips & tricks

Your Maximum Stamina is represented by a light gray bar behind your Current Stamina bar. Every action you take will drain your Current Stamina, and it can only recover as much as your Maximum Stamina, so keeping your Maximum Stamina from shrinking too much is important.

The lower your Current Stamina is when you take an action, the more Maximum Stamina such an action will cost. Attacks performed at low Current Stamina also deal less damage. However, a combo will maintain the permanent cost and the damage accordingly to the Stamina value of when the combo started! Try to recover your full Current Stamina in-between your combos, for maximum efficiency.

Whiffing on a punch or kick will cause your total Stamina to drain. Always make sure you are in range when throwing a strike. Throwing multiple strikes out of range will cause your Stamina to deplete very quickly and can sometimes cost you the fight.

Fighters will regain Stamina when in an inactive state. This means you recover the most Stamina when standing still or when you have distance between yourself and your opponent.

Fighters regain some amount of Maximum Stamina between rounds dependent on their Cardio attribute.
