Core Stats and Weapon Scaling
Amrita spent at Shrines raises core stats, which affect character attributes and the effectiveness of weapons with associated stat scaling.
How it works
The source lists eight core stats and says Amrita can be allocated to them at Shrines. Raising a stat increases its value and overall character level, with later points requiring more Amrita. Stats affect several aspects of the character, including Ki and Jutsu capacity, and weapon types have dominant scaling stats.
When it helps
When allocating Amrita, consider which character attributes or weapon scaling matter to your chosen setup. The supplied passage gives Kusarigama and Dexterity as an example but does not provide a complete scaling table.
The tradeoff
The source says each subsequent stat point requires more Amrita, and it does not provide enough evidence here to compare every stat or weapon.
Your next step
At a Shrine, review the core stats and consider the scaling stat of the weapon you plan to use before allocating Amrita.
