Stats

In order to level stats (through The Maiden In Black), the player must beat the boss of 1-1 and talk to The Monumental. Once that has been completed, the player can upgrade stats at The Maiden In Black.

There are no stat increases for weapon speed, attack speed, or decreases falldown duration, attack delay, or anything else of that nature. If an item is not present in the above table, increasing any stat will not help. Also note that every stat increases your physical defense, so no matter how stat points are spent, less damage will be taken.

Stat Notes

• Classes: A list of starting stats for each class is on the classes page
• Spreadsheet: This wiki has a spreadsheet which consolidates most of the stat information. It can be found on the planning page
• Formulas: For known formulas used to calculate the influence of stats on attributes and the reengineering effort, visit the formula's page
• Soul Level Loss: There are two methods for losing a Soul Level, one from PvP and one from a boss (spoiler alert). Losing a soul level removes a point from a random stat, and appropriately lowers the cost of re-buying that stat point.
• De-leveling stats: There is absolutely no way to purposefully de-level a single stat. Also, there is no way to get a stat below level 1. This was a bug in previous versions of the game, but has since been patched out.
