Endurance

Type Main Attribute
Effects Attribute governing Stamina.
Also affects Robustness.
This attribute also determines Equip Load.

Endurance is one of the Stats in Elden Ring. Stats refer to various properties that govern your character's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how they are affected by interactions in and out of combat. Endurance primarily affects a player's Stamina and Equip Load. It is one of the 8 Main Attributes that players can spend Runes on to level up, increasing the Stat's effectiveness and influencing their relative secondary stats. Stats such as Endurance are an important aspect of character progression in Elden Ring.

 

Elden Ring Endurance Stat General Information

  • Endurance (END) is a Main Attribute that primarily influences Stamina. The more Endurance a character has, the larger their Stamina bar and the more actions they can perform before requiring a recharge. Stamina is an important resource that is used up by nearly every action performed while in combat.
  • Another influence of Endurance is on the Equip Load Stat. A player's Equip Load is the sum of the weight of all their currently equipped armaments, armor, and other equipment. Raising the Endurance stat also raises your Maximum Equip Load. The closer your current Equip Load is relative to your Maximum Equip Load, the more encumbered you become. Equip Load directly influences your ability to perform evasive rolls. This is measured against certain percentage thresholds of your Maximum Equip Load and will either allow you to perform long, highly evasive rolls at lower thresholds or slow and janky tumbles that have terrible evasion properties at high thresholds. See the Equip Load page for details on how this stat works.
  • Endurance also influences the Robustness Body Stat, which in turn improves a player's resistance to Hemorrhage and Frostbite effects.
    • +3 Robustness per level from 31 to 40 Endurance
    • +0.5 Robustness per level from 41 to 60 Endurance
    • +0.25 Robustness per level from 61 to 99 Endurance
  • Soft-capped for stamina at 50 and carry capacity at 60: returns diminish greatly after those points.

Elden Ring Endurance Notes & Tips

FAQ: Is Endurance Good in Elden Ring?

  • Endurance is a good stat and an important one to consider in Elden Ring since it is directly related to Stamina and Equip load. Although its not the first stat players consider leveling, it is important to have a good balance of this stat when considering which equipment you want to take on. This directly affects your attack abilities and how many attack actions you can perform in a given time before running out of stamina. Most actions players perform, especially in Combat, including Dodging and basic attacks consume Stamina. Basic actions such attacking, sprinting, blocking, dodging, and casting spells all consume Stamina so it will always be an active basic stat players need to be aware of.
  • Your Endurance will also affect the speed these actions perform. Having a slower Dodge roll may be very detrimental against nimble opponents. Having a good Endurance could stretch out your attack actions. Or if preferred, players can choose to balance out their Endurance in order to opt for heavier Weapons and Armor. A low endurance will make you much less nimble especially with a heavier load. 
  • Vigor and Endurance go hand in hand when creating a build that minimizes damage intake.Vigor directly influences HP and Endurance affects the ability to resist or dodge damage. These two stats will keep you alive longer during combat. 
  • Builds have been put together in order to have good balance of stats. This includes a balance of Equipment and takes the players other stats Equipment and starting Class stats into consideration. Beginner players who want to test the effects of these stats in game can start off with the Barbarian Build which focuses Primarly on Strength and Endurance, optimizing both damage output and minimizing incoming damage. This build attempts to balance out the stamina required for the outgoing attacks and often encourages an aggressive approach that would exhaust a character's stamina. Endurance is increased to allow more actions at a time. Additionally the Green Turtle Talisman and the Erdtree's Favor both help with Stamina management in this build. 

How many points should I put in Endurance Elden Ring?

  • A good Endurance set up could somewhere from 15-30 points depending on the priorities of your Build and how much weight you are carrying so that the weight does not effect your Dodging speed too much. If you prefer to carry heavier armor,  you can go with a level 20 endurance and up to balance out your movements.

      In previous games you had to raise two different stats for your stamina and equip load. Now that they are combined, raising this is even more a no-brainer.

      • Anonymous

        It's so funny to me that this stat is heavily underrated by most players. Having more stamina in a Souls game is essentially like having more turns in a JRPG.

          Fought Mohg yesterday and was confused by my bleed meter going up way slower than previous runs, and thought it he got nerfed. Now I read that it influences robustness, no wonder I wasn't bleeding much, I had 60 endurance lmao

            There are discrepancies between the stamina table and the graph. The table is the correct one (I've compared it with the game) while the graph doesn't show the correct stamina points gain per END level from levels 0 to 15 and levels 30 to 50 (I've recreated the graph in excel). Anyway, there are three soft caps for stamina: lvl 15, lvl 30 and lvl 50.

              How much stamina is ideal? I know it depends on the size of weapon, so I'd like to know a recommended stamina for light, medium, great, and colossal weapons, as well as for magic. This is mostly for lightweight builds, as heavier builds already need to invest for equip load.

              • Anonymous

                Imo, I think stamina should determine equip load, like in here and in DS1. Strength tank builds need more stamina and equip load, while on the other end, light-weight dex or magic builds still benefit. Making it a separate stat is annoying to level, and tying it to strength makes other builds useless.

                • Anonymous

                  Over the course of about 10 playthroughs this has gone from my consistently least invested in to consistently most invested in stat, if a light load and allot of stamina so you don't get stuck not being able to roll is important to you I suggest not skimping on this

                    Question: How good is something like 14 Endurance for a caster build? I have a build in mind that due to me needing a lot of points in other stats, can only really have 14 points in endurance. I know there's also talismans like Viridian Amber Medallion or even better the Erdtree's Favor which help out there, but I'd like to ask how difficult it might be to play a caster with low levels into those stats despite staying away from most enemies.

                    • Anonymous

                      If equip load was tied to strength instead of endurance it would destroy the 81 poise dex/bleed builds. Won't someone think of the children?

                        Thank god the goblin crouch is fixed, now all the sweaty PvP players are easy pickins because they never learned how to manage stamina.

                        • Anonymous

                          So glad they finally tied equip load to endurance again, I can forgive DS2 for many things but adding vitality which carried over to DS3 is one thing I can’t forgive and forget

                          • Anonymous

                            Based on the chart above about stamina gain, if you try to go for 99 endurance you're going to lose 32 POINTS of actual stamina levels. The game does not give stamina all the way up to 99 which is dumb.
                            Therefore 50 endurance is the most effective because between 50 and 53 you get 0 stamina and it will continue doing so beyond 53.

                            This makes endurance one of the worst stats for leveling. It does have bonuses such robustness and carry weight which is amazing, but the fact you barely gain any stamina for spending 49 levels after level 50 on the damn thing? Come on, change this **** man, I'm no genius but anyone with a brain can see spending 3 levels straight and gaining no stamina for it is not okay. Give me 0.5 stamina or something, instead of 0, I'd rather have that than 0 stamina for 3 levels straight after level 50.

                            Compare this to Mind which is the mage equivalent of stamina. Even after mind 50, it still goes strong gaining 5 point of fp at mind 51, 52 mind gains 6 fp and at 53 mind you gain 6 fp. Mind starts as a wretch at 10 and gives 78 fp. At 99 mind you have 450 fp while endurance goes from 96 to 170. I'm not saying they should have the same value, but the increase difference is ridiculous (Do not nerf mind).

                            My point is endurance doesn't feel right. It doesn't fit since even in leveling it doesn't even work properly. Endurance should allow us to hit for a longer combo. A good example of this is could be the colossal swords.

                            Colossal swords should be able to do more than 3 light attacks if you have the endurance for it. Most people only use poke attacks because they can be used endlessly without it rendering you motionless.
                            Give colossal sword attacks more attack paterns if you increase endurance, instead of 3 light attack allow me to do 4-5 at endurance 50 and make it ramp up after that.

                            Allow me to use my endurance to the fullest.

                              Why did Miyazaki tie equip load to endurance again? Separating it from endurance and giving it its own attribute did wonders for build variety and kept everyone from going full tank with a fast dex weapon. Now everyone is just wearing bullgoat and spamming Rivers of Blood. It is Havel's paired with Gold Tracer all over again. People keep saying it is Japanese developers that do backpedaling on good ideas all the time but I never see this too much in games from Capcom or Konami or Nintendo usually. From seems to just have this desire to undo any good change they make for...some reason?

                                Hey guys remember how equip load was tied to endurance in Dark Souls 1 and it let people wear full Havel's while spamming Gold Tracer? Hey, Hey guys remember how in Dark Souls 3 bleed was HELLA OP? Well here...have them BOTH together! Because who cares about balance RIGHT?! -Miyazaki

                                  What is up with that stamina table? At lvl 8 it goes from 88 to 92 that's not +2, same thing at 32, stamina goes from 131 to 132 but the table says +2. Which column am I supposed to believe??

                                    I'm not good with maths I never have been, maybe not to the extent of dyscalculia but not that far off, so I'm hoping someone here will help me out. what sort of endurance would I need to wear the scaled armour with one of the imp heads, and allow me to carry great stars, a shortbow and a dagger without getting fat rolls? as it is now I can use the scaled armour chest piece if I use exile greaves and gauntlets, but can only carry a bow and great stars with no dagger, I'm not getting the poise or protection I would with whole scaled set, barring the helm, any help would be appreciated.

                                        Don't understand the casters complaining that spells cost stamina. Doing anything other than walking and sipping flasks costs stamina. And you only need 1 point of stamina in order to cast your spells, unless you're just spamming.

                                          Who picked the font used on these tables? This is a website for reference, not a frigging illustrated paperback manual... ffs

                                            This is nice, but I wish this page would tell how to increase Endurance with equipment, like talismans. I know there are some that increase it because Radagon's Scarseal and Radagon's Soreseal do.

                                            • I fixed the formatting of the table raleigh_littles added (very helpful table btw). I don't have permissions to remove raleigh's table though.
                                              also, Luca's second table (Equip load increase per level) has an extra column that can be deleted (also dont have perms)

                                              • I added a section about the equipment load thresholds (light and medium) per level. For those unaware, the thresholds is 30% of equipment load for fast rolls, and 70% for medium rolls (anything over that is 'fat roll')

                                                  I wish the stamina gains were more substantial. It doesn't make sense to me that a guy with 50 Endurance has only about 50% more stamina than a wimpy wretch. Compare this to Mind or Vigor, where you can double or triple the amount of max points.

                                                    At max level endurance you can wear a full set of bull goat armor and duel wield ruins great sword by a little less than 2% why do I do this to myself

                                                      the big early gains for equip load between prior 25 end is the primary reason poise is such a problem. They need to have the Equip Load gains from 8-25 end and place all of that over the course of 33-50
                                                      50 should be the hard cap for equip load

                                                        What could you even DO with 160 equip load? That's full bull-goat armor and double colossal weapons with still having equip load to spare...

                                                          Physical Defense increases by level naturally (especially between level 70 and 90). This defense increase is perfectly independent from attributes, so it will grow by getting more attributes. Only STR gives you even more if you need that. What you may experience is the "virtual level-up" by equipping attribute increasing items. Virtual level is calculated by adding all your attributes together and thats where your Pysical Defense is coming from.

                                                            This article has some wrong info. Endurance does NOT affect physical defense, but it DOES affect Robustness. To increase physical defense, level Strength. (This is according to the in-game "Explanation" feature on the Status page.)

                                                              Question from a newb planning their build: I'm hoping someone can clarify something for me. If level 99 endurance gives you 170 stamina then how does Placidusax's Ruin cost 600 stamina?

                                                                Heavy armor (banished knight), headgear that raises endurance (wolf head), talisman that raises carry capacity (arsenal charm), big sword (Take your pick, I like Blasphemous Blade), shield with a helpful effect (icon shield). The legend!

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  That's interesting how they do equip load with a break point at 25. It's like they're saying "you can use medium armor, but if you want to use heavy armor you need to reeeeely work for it." Is heavy armor really that worth it? I guess for poise, since it seems the difference between a set of medium and a set of heavy is only about 10% damage reduction. Or is it just so you can't carry multiple big weapons around with you? I can't quite tell whether wearing armor is worth it in this game or if it would be better to be naked with a couple big weapons.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    Would STRONGLY recommend levelling endurance over vigor in PVE. The amount of damage that can be tanked by levelling endurance by far outweighs vigor. Most damage comes from weapon upgrades, so you only need bare minimum stats (especially with regular weapons since their scaling doesn't increase at a much higher level).

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      Tbh if they had tied equip load to Strength they could've scrapped Endurance completely, stamina management is almost as non-existant in this game as in Bloodborne. But at least they got rid of Vitality as a stat, that bugged the hell out of me in DS2-3.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            • Anonymous

Is this going to be like Resistance in DS1 where it barely matters, or is it going to be more like the natural physical defense stat in Bloodborne where it honestly matters more than the armor you're wearing? If it ends up being pretty significant, elemental damage is going to play a big role in higher level PvP where most people will have soft capped endurance.
