Some enemies can specifically deal stress damage. This is also accumulated by fighting during expeditions. Stress is affected by various events and instances in the game. In Darkest Dungeon 2, stress no longer triggers a heart attack, but instead triggers a meltdown. Try to keep stress low in order to promote a harmonious party.

These factors and features may effect Heroes and other Stat values positively or negatively and make up how effective specific mechanics are in the game. Stats are the measurable values that determine the key factors during gameplay and Combat.
