Best stats to level up quickly in Elden Ring
Let’s say you have enough Runes to level your character in Elden Ring, how should you spend them?
The best statistics to focus on first is determined by your objectives, so here are our recommendations for what to prioritize:
- Vigor and Endurance are really important. Because they add up on your HP and stamina. In the early game, it is kind of hard to fight because your character is not defensive enough but these stats will help you survive.
- Strength and Dexterity are vital for melee classes. These stats are important when it comes to equipping a weapon. For example, Twinblade, one of the most powerful weapons in the early game requires 18 DEX points. non of the starting class has that 18 DEX points so if you want to deal a lot of damage with melee weapons, you should consider investing in STR and DEX.
- Intelligence is important in the use of spells and magic. For most starting classes, this isn’t something you should worry about at first because acquiring a staff for sorcery is not simple. However, for the Astrologer class, increasing this to gain access to additional spells and boost the damage of what you have is critical. You need Faith or Arcane stats in order to use some spells too.
Know that you can develop a well-rounded character who can cast magic and wield a sword effectively if you work hard. Investing simply in a certain build has some benefits, of course, but the higher your level, the more Rune it costs to add a statistic point. If you are careful enough it’s not too hard to create a character with multiple focuses.
