Which Stat is For You?
The stats are the primary factors that determine your character’s build in Elden Ring.
While Vigor and Mind are important, they do not directly affect your build. Endurance has a straightforward effect on your build as it determines how much load you can equip.
The only stats that do affect your build and limit what weapons or magic you can use are the remaining five stats discussed below.
| Strength (STR) | Dexterity (DEX) | Intelligence (INT) | Faith (FAI) | Arcane (ARC) | |
| Potential | Heavy and large weapons like Great swords, Colossal swords, Axes, halberds, Spears, and Hammers. | Fast weapons like Daggers, Katanas, Rapiers, Curved Swords, Whips, Bows, and Flails. | For casting sorceries that deal magic damage. | For casting incantations that can damage, Heal and Buff. | To inflict Status Effects like Bleed, Poison, Rot, Madness, and Sleep. |
| Synergy | Goes extremely well with FAI. Good with DEX and ARC. | Good with STR, FAI, INT, and ARC. | Good with DEX and FAI. | Best with STR. Good with INT and DEX. | Best with DEX. Good with STR. |
| Extra bonuses | Influences Physical Defense, Two-handing weapons increase effective strength by 1.5x. | Reduces the cast time of sorcery and incantations. It decreases fall damage and makes it hard to get knocked off Torrent. | Influences Magical Defense. | No extra bonuses. | Influences Item discovery, holy and death resistance. |
These stats also affect the damage scaling of the weapons, as each weapon depends upon a selection of the following 5 stats.
Stats have a more intricate influence on your build, like soft caps and damage scaling of different affinities.
Note: If you have already invested your levels and want to reallocate the points. You can reach Queen Rennala and rebirth your character using a consumable called Larval Tear.
