Avowed features six core attributes:
-
Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and enhancing carry capacity. High Might 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 effects. It also unlocks specific dialogue choices.
-
Dexterity: Increases attack and action speeds, improving weapon and ability use, consumable deployment, parkour, and reload times. It significantly enhances mobility.
-
Perception: Enhances critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). While providing some 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 using essence-based abilities. Unlocks additional dialogue options.
-
Resolve: Boosts maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds. Provides dialogue options similar to Constitution.
Attribute Ranking and Build Considerations
While each attribute caters to specific playstyles, 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 frequent close-quarters combat scenarios. Consider investing minimally, potentially respeccing for specific enemy encounters.
-
Resolve: Increased stamina is valuable, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind's effectiveness, while improved by Resolve, is often outweighed by strategies focused on damage mitigation or survivability.
-
Intellect: Elemental resistance is a significant asset, reducing the threat of elemental damage. Increased maximum essence benefits all characters, regardless of primary combat style, supporting various abilities.
-
Dexterity: A versatile attribute improving overall speed and agility. Beneficial for all builds, enhancing both DPS and mobility. A solid investment across the board.
-
Constitution: Increased maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding are crucial for survival. Poison and bleeding are frequently lethal, making this a strong defensive choice.
-
Might: The most impactful attribute, significantly increasing damage output and carry capacity. The damage boost is universally beneficial, and increased carry capacity is essential for managing inventory and loot.
This ranking offers a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember to adapt your attribute allocation based on your preferred playstyle and combat strategy.
