Avowed features six core attributes, each impacting specific stats and playstyles:
- Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and enhancing carry capacity. High Might also unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding conflict.
- Constitution: Improves overall health and stamina, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
- Dexterity: Increases attack and action speed, benefiting weapon and ability use, consumable consumption, and parkour. Reload speed is also improved, enhancing overall mobility.
- Perception: Enhances critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). While offering some dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is minimal.
- Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost. Crucial for spellcasters, but also beneficial for characters utilizing essence-based abilities. Additional dialogue options are available.
- Resolve: Improves maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds, and provides dialogue options similar to Constitution.
Attribute Ranking and Build Optimization
While each attribute caters to specific builds, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:
-
Perception: While increased critical hit chance and range are appealing, their practical impact is often limited by the prevalence of close-quarters combat. Consider investing minimally, potentially respeccing for specific encounters.
-
Resolve: Increased stamina is valuable, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's effectiveness, while improved by Resolve, is often surpassed by prioritizing health and survivability.
-
Intellect: Elemental resistance is crucial, mitigating significant damage. Increased maximum essence benefits even non-magic users, powering various abilities.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute boosting attack and action speed, improving overall DPS and mobility. A worthwhile investment for all builds.
-
Constitution: Enhanced maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed are vital for survival, especially given the frequency of these debilitating effects.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute, significantly increasing damage output across all weapons and boosting carry capacity. This is crucial for both combat effectiveness and resource management. The increased carry capacity allows for greater loot collection and sales.
This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember that experimentation and adjusting your build based on your playstyle are key to success in the Living Lands.
