Avowed features six core attributes:

Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and enhancing carry capacity. High Might might also unlock unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating or even dissuading enemies.

Constitution: Improves overall health and stamina, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding effects. Additional dialogue options may also become available.

Dexterity: Increases attack and action speeds, enhancing weapon and ability use, consumable consumption, and parkour. Reload speed also sees an improvement, boosting overall mobility.

Perception: Increases critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (wands, guns, bows). While additional dialogue options are unlocked, their impact on gameplay is minimal.

Intellect: Improves maximum essence and resistance to ignited, shocked, and frozen statuses. Beneficial for spellcasters and those utilizing essence-based abilities. Unlocks additional dialogue options.

Resolve: Improves maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Ideal for heavy weapon users and tank builds. Unlocks dialogue options with outcomes similar to Constitution.

Best Avowed Attributes, Ranked

While each attribute caters to specific builds, some offer broader advantages. Here's a ranking to guide your attribute point allocation:

6. Perception

Perception's benefits—increased critical hit chance and maximum range—are situationally useful. While extended range for ranged weapons sounds appealing, its practical application is limited by the frequent close-quarters combat encounters. While effective against certain enemies, it's not a priority for all players.

5. Resolve

Increased maximum stamina is helpful, but readily obtainable through unique armor. Second Wind, while useful, is often outweighed by prioritizing overall health and survivability through other means. Investing in damage mitigation or mobility is often a more effective strategy.

4. Intellect

Intellect enhances maximum essence and elemental resistance. Elemental resistance is crucial for mitigating elemental damage, while increased essence benefits various abilities beyond just spellcasting. A valuable attribute for most builds.

3. Dexterity

Dexterity offers a balanced improvement to attack and action speeds, impacting mobility, item use, and weapon/ability speeds. This makes it a versatile attribute beneficial to all playstyles.

2. Constitution

Constitution boosts maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding. Given the frequency and lethality of poison and bleed effects, this attribute significantly improves survivability.

1. Might

Might is the most impactful attribute, significantly increasing damage output across all weapons and boosting carry capacity. The damage increase dramatically improves DPS, while increased carry capacity allows for greater loot management and less encumbering.

This ranking provides a framework for attribute allocation in Avowed. Remember to adapt your choices based on your preferred playstyle and build.
