RELATED: Elden Ring Review
In Elden Ring, there are eight stats that every character possesses: Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane. These are a character’s main attributes that dictate various secondary characteristics like HP or FP. Builds utilize some stats over others to better serve an individual playstyle. As such, players need to understand stats and how they work towards strengthening elements of a character. Only then can they produce characters fit for facing the overwhelming dangers of the Lands Between.
Character Stats
Of the stats that characters possess, each holds varying degrees of importance. Some are beneficial regardless of a character’s build, while others are very niche. Vigor, Mind, and Endurance are always worthwhile investments, as they bolster secondary attributes that every character utilizes. Others, however, only aim to serve niche character designs. Thus, players should review what each stat covers and how it will influence their character. In addition, they should consider the stat spread of every available class, determining which best fits their preferred build or playstyle.
Upon doing so, players will have a complete understanding of stats, allowing them to make a viable and capable character. They will know which stats to improve when leveling up and what strategies their characters can best utilize. In addition, players will know what stats to increase when their characters level up, building upon their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses.

Should a player be unhappy with their character’s stat spread, they can look into respeccing them. While doing so is time-consuming and taxing, it is well worth the opportunity to respec a character, making them a clean slate perfect for improving upon. With a keen understanding of stats and experience, players can effectively improve upon their character’s build or change their focus entirely.
