Posture / Stamina

Posture = Stamina | Movement uses it for sprinting (how long you can run) , combat uses it for blocking (how many attacks can be blocked before you are guardbroken), in addition Sprinting & Blocking hits both drain posture.

• Posture:
  Prevents passive play, blocking an attack will take your posture instead of your HP (not including chip damage). A non displayed meter, if depleted will not allow the user to block the next attack. Getting hit with depleted posture will trigger a “Guard break” which stuns the defender giving the opponent an opening to attack.
• Stamina:
  To prevent infinite running just like posture it is an non displayed meter, when depleted will not allow the user to sprint.
  Posture is NOT needed to perfect block (parry)
