Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin · Infusion
Dark infusion
Dark infusion adds Dark damage and scaling while reducing physical damage and Strength and Dexterity scaling.
How it works
Darknight Stone is the named material. The source reports that previously uninfused, un-upgraded scalable weapons receive initial C Dark scaling and added Dark damage, while base Physical damage falls by 30.5%. Strength and Dexterity scaling decrease by one or two letter grades. The infusion description associates Dark base attack rating and scaling with both Intelligence and Faith.
