FromSoftware remains enigmatic about stat scaling in Elden Ring, with a devoted fan successfully deciphering the Nightreign mystery to demonstrate that reaching level 15 has minimal impact on gameplay.
In the spooky, co-op spin-off Nightreign, things aren't always what they seem. This game adjusts the stats system from its predecessor Elden Ring, but the growth pattern is surprisingly similar, with a few crucial differences. YouTuber Zullie the Witch, a deep-dive expert on FromSoftware games, has dissected the Nightfarers and their unique quirks.
She begins by discussing the game's use of a letter-graded system for character stats. Diving into the gameplay, she notes that though players can grow their characters up to 15 levels in Nightreign, the progression system is somewhat uneven. While stats like vigor and dexterity might soar as you level-up, others like strength and intelligence may see only minimal improvements.
For instance, Ironeye's vitality and dexterity skyrocket with each level, but the increase in other stats is slow and meager. On the other hand, Raider's strength is consistently growing, while their dexterity plateaus. Interestingly, the interpretation of each grade differences, too, varies, with an S in intelligence not being the same as an S in dexterity.
Zullie concludes that reaching level 15 might not always be as beneficial as it seems. In many instances, making it to level 10 may be enough, as the changes in the later levels aren't as significant. Surprisingly, even Relics – useful tools for buffing characters – don't have as much impact when you're deep into your run and high-leveled.
Zullie also provides stat sheets to help guide players towards the best stats for their playstyle. This information is crucial to avoid wasting valuable buffs in areas where improvements won't be apparent. With the tough Nightlord battles ahead, every advantage counts.
