### Stamina
Stamina is used to play Cards. It is shown as a bar below your hand of Cards.
Stamina **regenerates automatically**. The maximum Stamina is 10. The state of the Knight will affect it's regeneration speed.
For example, when a Knight is attacking its opponent, its Stamina regenerates slower; when the Knight is standing still, its Stamina regenerates faster.
### Health
The **Health Bars** are located at the top of the screen under the players' names.
### Endurance
A small **Endurance Bar** is shown below a Health Bar. It is by default 2 Endurance.
Endurances are depleted from a Knight when it is **attacked while performing an attack card**.
When a Knight's Endurance is 0, its attack will be **cancelled by the opponent's attack**.
The Endurance Bar takes time to automatically recharge. Then the Knight can resume attacking the opponent while being attacked.
### Timer
The **Timer** is located between the two Health Bars.
The Timer starts at 60 seconds. When it **reaches 0**, the fight enters **Overtime Phase**, both Knights start **losing health each second**.
Overtime Phase lasts for 20 seconds. When it reaches 0, the Knight with more health wins.
