Alright, so Elden Ring Nightreign, huh? Who would’ve thought an RPG would be all about leveling up stats, right? But here we are, with this FromSoftware gem that’s kinda made the whole leveling thing a breeze with just one button. Yeah, seriously—press a button at a Site of Grace, and boom, you level up, no sweat about which stat goes where. The game’s got it covered behind the scenes, though it messes with the details based on which class you pick. Intriguing? Maybe?
Now, let’s talk about those starting attributes and letter grades. It’s… not straightforward. Dataminer and total Souls aficionado, Zullie the Witch, dived into the whole stat-levelling mishmash and uncovered some curious bits. Zullie popped out a video, trying to unravel the real stats behind each class in the game. So, each class has an attribute screen showcasing the usual suspects: HP, FP, Strength, Faith & co. But instead of numbers, you get these letter grades. Kinda like school… but not, you know?
Anyway, Zullie’s video gives us a peek at a traditional stats screen. The jump from level 1 to 2 is like, monumental, in the grand scheme of the game. But after level 12? The game hits a soft spot. Or is it a soft cap? I always mix those up.
And then there’s The Duchess. A B in DEX and an A in INT, despite their eerily similar values. Whaaa? The grading system is mysterious, maybe even mischievous.
Here’s another nugget: Relics that amp up your attack stats? Rocking when you’re low-level, but once you’re all decked out with weapon upgrades and other jazzy bonuses? Meh, not so much.
Zullie spills more beans, though, saying Nightreign’s randomness throws a wrench in targeting specific setups. But hey, once you know your character’s bona fide stats, you can cherry-pick Relics and other goodies so you’re not stuck with a dud class. Maybe?
And oh, almost forgot! Nightreign just got a fresh update with some balance tweaks and bug zaps. Not Earth-shattering, but hey, something’s better than nada, right? Keep your eyes peeled for more, and if you’re feeling adventurous, dive into our massive Elden Ring Nightreign guide. Just maybe not during a work meeting, okay?
