# Escape

Your character may choose to back out of combat entirely by using the `RUN` button. When attempting to run your character will try to disengage and flee to the nexus channel channel where they cannot be followed by their opponent. The `RUN` button will drain **20% of your max Stamina** and will initiate a roll that must be positive in order to succeed:
