Respiration

Respiration is one of the player's Misc Stats. It determines how long a player can stay underwater before they start to drown and is affected by Pressure and Pressure Resistance.

Mechanics

Respiration increases how long the player can stay underwater before starting to drown. For every 2 Respiration, the player can stay underwater 1 second longer before starting to drown.

The more Pressure gathered, which is gained by going deeper underwater, the faster air bubbles are lost. Having more Pressure Resistance counters this.
