Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin · Character attribute

Attributes affecting equipment and spells

Attributes govern weapon attack scaling, spell access and capacity, equipment load, and elemental attack or defense.

How it works

The supplied class description says Strength boosts strength-weapon attack and permits heavier weapons, while Dexterity boosts dexterity-weapon attack and technical weapon use. It also says Attunement governs the number of attuned spells and boosts spell uses and casting speed. Intelligence is required for sorceries and hexes and increases Magic, Fire, and Dark attack and defense; Faith is required for miracles and hexes and increases Lightning, Fire, and Dark attack and defense. The infusion overview describes Element-specific scaling relationships.
