Parameter Example code Result

{{term|hp|health}} HEALTH
Special resource which represents hero's or creature's life pool, measuring for how long they are able to remain in fight.
The amount of health is varied between characters. One segment of green bar represents 500 health points. Additional to it resources are TEMPORARY HEALTH (dark green) and SHIELD (light green).
Taking DAMAGE and using some of the skills reduce health. When health bar reaches 0, hero is defeated and returned to the Airship, while creature just dies.
Health can be recovered from various sources, while being OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerates it.

life stealing
stamina {{term|stamina}} STAMINA
Special resource which allows hero to sprint, dodge, jump, and utilize powerful dodge and sprint attacks.
By default all heroes have 100 points of stamina.
While SPRINT and JUMPS consume stamina gradually when player is IN COMBAT, DODGE always cost 25 points (one segment of blue bar).
Heroes OUT OF COMBAT slowly regenerate their stamina when they don't move actively.

Melee Heroes also gain a special attack by using their primary attack after jumping, which consumes additional stamina, but hitting an enemy IN THE BACK will apply CRIPPLE.
jumping
dodge {{term|dodge|dodging}} DODGE
Gives character a chance to completely avoid incoming attack and gain invulnerability for a brief moment (does not apply to damage from ground effects or debuffs).
One dodge always costs 25 points of STAMINA. When stamina bar reaches 0, hero still can dodge, but will lost chance to gain invulnerability.
Melee Heroes also gain a special attack by using their primary attack after dodging at the cost of additional stamina, but charging forward and deal damage.
