Summary
InNo Rest For The Wicked,stats play a major role in your gameplay and efficient progression. These stats affect your exploration and combat greatly. Therefore, it is important that you focus on the best attributes that can elevate your character build, as you won’t be getting a lot of attribute points to spend.
There are several character stats in No Rest For The Wicked, and you will get three attribute points to spend with each level up that will allow you to improve your stats. Depending on your character build and level, some stats should be more prioritised than others.
7Stamina
If you’re just starting out in No Rest For The Wicked, then you will need as much Stamina as you may to run away or dodge enemies. In combat, actions like blocking or dodging will also drain your Stamina. Investing in this stat will allow you to block, escape, and dodge more frequently from your enemies. Stamina will also determine how often you can parry enemies. Furthermore, with Stamina, you will be able to deal with more heavy or standard attacks in battle.
Even in mid-game, you will need a lot of Stamina, especially if you are using heavier weapons. This is because heavy gear tends to increase encumbrance, which can lead to slower speed. Therefore, the first few attributes the points you get should be reserved for Stamina and any damage scaling stats like Strength or Dexterity.
6Faith
Faith is also a good damage stat to level up if you are using Faith-based weapons. Most rare weapons in No Rest For The Wicked are Faith-based. Powerful weapons, including the hammer, great hammer, and mace, are Faith-based. By investing points in the Faith stat, you will be able to deal more damage when using these weapons. Most of these Faith weapons also have powerful embedded runes that can aid you greatly in battle.
For instance, with the great hammer, you will get the balance smash rune, and with the hammer, you will get the fire throw and charge strike runes. If you prefer using Mace as your main weapon, then this Faith-based weapon will allow you to use surge slash and thrust runes. If you’re looking to create a Faith-based build, you should consider investing attribute points in this stat.
5Dexterity
If you don’t enjoy handling heavier weapons, then you should consider investing your attribute points in the Dexterity stat. Scaling up Dexterity will allow you to deal more damage with lighter weapons, including daggers and bows. Dexterity-based weapons like katanas are easier to handle than heavy melee gear.
Therefore, if you are into more fast-paced combat and rely on lighter weapons to deal damage, then leveling up Dexterity will allow you to make your build stronger for the end game.
4Equip Load
Equip Load is one of the best stats to level up in No Rest For The Wicked as it will allow you to carry more items. With each point in Equip Load, you will get ten carry weight points. It is important to note that the more weight you carry, the heavier your stance will be. Therefore, moving around can be quite difficult.
By increasing your equipment load, you will be able to carry more items without reaching maximum encumbrance. Furthermore, if you are looking to use heavy weapons and gear, then you will have to max out your Equip Load.
There are many high-stat armors that can take up a lot of space in your inventory. To avoid encumbrance, it is worth investing as many attribute points in equipping load as possible.
The Equip Load stat is great for farming and looting items in No Rest For The Wicked. So, if you are planning to collect different items scattered around the map for upgrading gear or other activities, you will need as muchinventory space as possible. However, this stat is only crucial for mid to late game.
3Focus
During your gameplay, you will find many weapons equipped with special runes. To activate these runes, you will need a specific number of Focus points. By leveling up this stat, your Focus points will increase, and your rune attacks will become more powerful. This stat will also determine the number of times you can use the rune attacks. For every 100 Focus points, you will get a new Focus bar that can greatly aid you in battles.
By dealing more damage to enemies, you will be able to fill up your Focus bar. Weapons that have higher rarity will already have runes on them. However, if you are using common weapons, then you will have to attach runes to them to increase damage.
2Strength
Strength is extremely important, especially when you cross mid-game. If you want to increase your melee weapon damage, then you should spend your attribute points on Strength. Scaling up this stat will allow you to use Strength-based weapons like heavy clubs or claymores. You will also be able to deal more damage with two-handed weapons if you increase your Strength.
We recommend that you invest in the Strength-based attribute only when you have leveled up other important stats like Health and Stamina. It is also important to decide which damage stat you prefer, as well as the weapons you are using, before investing attribute points.
1Health
The best stat to level up early on in No Rest For The Wicked is definitely Health. One thing about this game is that your Health will deteriorate quickly. Even against low-level enemies, you will be extremely prone to attacks, so it’s important to invest as much as you can in your Health.
By spending attribute points on your Health, your hit points will increase, and you will be able to take more damage during battles. When you reach the end game, make sure that you maximize your Health if you want to survive against enemies.
