Which stats to level up first in No Rest For The Wicked
Combat is grueling but you can make your life easier with a healthy supply of stamina. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Moon Studios.
In the early sections of the game, your main priority will be to stay alive and get to the town of Sacrament. Your weapons will be any that you can scavenge amongst the shipwreck and you won’t be able to specialise in a particular build just yet.
For this reason, we reccomend putting points intoHealthandStamina. Although this may sound boring initially, it will set you up with a great foundation.
Like with most ARPGs and Soulslikes, various weapon types in the game scale with different stats. Strength-based weapons will be larger, two-handed axes and swords whereas Dexterity weapons will be lighter, nimble weapons like bows, daggers and so forth. Investing into these stats will increase your damage output with said weapons, but until you figure out which weapons you wish to focus on it’s best to pour your efforts intosurvivalabove all else.
Keep an eye onFocustoo. If you’re lucky enough to get a weapon with an attached Rune early on, Focus will allow you to execute unique combat moves via the Focus bars at the top left of the screen, (you’ll start the game with one bar). For every 100 Focus points you get, you’ll get an additional bar. One point invested into your Focus stat will give you 20 points meaning you’ll get a new bar for every 5 points you invest into Focus.
That rounds off our guide to the best stats to level up first in No Rest For The Wicked. Now you should be all set to continue your journey to Sacrament with as little trouble as possible.
