Stamina usage requires the most micromanaging as, if not given the proper attention, it can leave you in a lot of trouble. The final of the three bars is stamina, which governs rolling, back steps, sprinting, blocking, and attacking. Or if you feel like your skill is more important than health recovery, you can shift it to Focus. If your plan is to go all out on a particular boss with normal attacks, you may want to move your entire allotment of Estus’ to health.
It doesn’t cost you anything to redistribute your Estus allotment, so keep in mind that you can change your gameplay strategy to match the situation you're preparing to encounter. However, by speaking to the blacksmith at your shrine, you can redistribute these.
To start with, each character can use an Estus flask four times, three times for health and once for focus. It also has its very own blue Estus flask that can be used to top it up. The amount of Focus used varies depending on the specific ability but, like health, the bar is replenished at Bonfires. These range from a war cry that temporarily boosts attacks to a defensive stance that lets you parry to a quickstep that moves you behind enemies (ideal for the offensive style of Bloodborne players). Many of the weapon classes have a unique ability associated with them. The second of the three bars relates to Focus, which governs the use of Battle Arts-a new gameplay addition to the Dark Souls series. However, you’ll get considerably fewer uses out of them, so play smart. For Bloodborne players, it’s worth keeping in mind that Estus flasks are replenished at Bonfires, unlike Blood Vials. This extends the total size of the health bar and gives you a free refill. However, since Embers are in limited supply, it’s important to make the most of each one, so use one when your health is low instead of when it’s already at max. You can consume Embers to transform from a shrivelled undead to a kindled warrior coursing with fire. When unkindled, you have less total health than when you are kindled. The red health bar has two states that correspond to whether your character is unkindled or kindled. Much of it becomes evident as you get deeper into the game, but it’s nice to have a handle on it from the start. There are intricacies to the way health, focus, and stamina work that are not explained in a way that’s easy to understand.
Dark Souls 3 uses a number of gameplay systems from across the series but also introduces a few new ones.
