Avowed features six core attributes:
- Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, enhancing damage output from all sources and increasing carry capacity. High Might unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding combat.
- 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 speeds, enhancing weapon and ability usage, consumable use, and parkour. Reload speed also benefits from higher Dexterity, improving overall mobility and DPS.
- Perception: Improves critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). While offering additional dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is minimal.
- Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to fire, shock, and frost damage. Crucial for spellcasters, but also beneficial for characters utilizing essence-based abilities. Unlocks additional dialogue options.
- Resolve: Increases maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds. Offers dialogue options similar to Constitution.
Ranking Avowed's Attributes
While attribute effectiveness depends on your build, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:
6. Perception
Perception's benefits (critical hit chance and ranged weapon range) are situational. While useful against specific enemies or in certain scenarios, its overall impact is limited, especially given the prevalence of close-quarters combat.
5. Resolve
Increased stamina and Second Wind improvements are valuable, but readily obtainable through equipment. Prioritizing health and mobility often proves more effective than relying solely on Resolve for survivability.
4. Intellect
Intellect's enhancement of maximum essence and elemental resistance is significant. Even non-magical builds benefit from increased essence for various abilities, while elemental resistance is crucial for mitigating damage.
3. Dexterity
Dexterity offers across-the-board improvements to attack and action speeds, benefiting all builds. Increased mobility and DPS make it a worthwhile investment regardless of your chosen playstyle.
2. Constitution
Constitution directly boosts maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding—two frequently encountered and deadly status effects. Increased survivability is a key advantage in challenging encounters.
1. Might
Might is the most versatile attribute. The damage increase applies to all weapons, significantly boosting DPS. The carry capacity increase is invaluable, allowing you to carry more loot and equipment without encumbrance.
This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to tailor your attribute points to your preferred playstyle while prioritizing Might and Constitution for a well-rounded character.
