Each of the six attributes offers unique benefits:
- Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and enhancing carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially influencing enemy behavior.
- Constitution: Increases maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed effects. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
- Dexterity: Improves attack and action speeds, enhancing weapon and ability use, consumable use, and parkour. Reload speed is also increased.
- Perception: Enhances critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons. While it offers dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is minimal.
- Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to ignited, shocked, and frozen statuses. Crucial for spellcasters. Additional dialogue options are also available.
- Resolve: Boosts maximum stamina and Second Wind effectiveness. Ideal for heavy weapon users and tank builds. Unlocks dialogue options similar to Constitution.
Avowed Attribute Ranking: From Least to Most Valuable
While attribute effectiveness depends on your build, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:
-
Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range sound appealing, their practical impact is often limited by the close-quarters nature of many Avowed encounters. Consider investing sparingly, perhaps re-speccing for specific enemy types.
-
Resolve: The stamina boost is valuable, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's improvement is less impactful than focusing on survivability through health and mobility.
-
Intellect: Elemental resistance is a significant advantage, mitigating damage from elemental attacks. The increased maximum essence benefits even non-magic users, supporting various abilities.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute that enhances overall combat speed and mobility. A worthwhile investment for most builds.
-
Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed are crucial for survival, as these effects are frequently lethal.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute, offering substantial damage increases across all weapons and significantly improving carry capacity. The latter is invaluable for managing inventory and maximizing loot acquisition.
This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to adapt your attribute allocation based on your chosen playstyle and combat preferences.
