Avowed features six core attributes:

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

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

Dexterity: Increases attack and action speeds, improving weapon and ability use, consumable use, and parkour. Reload speed is also enhanced, boosting overall mobility.

Perception: Enhances critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (wands, guns, bows). While offering some dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is generally minor.

Intellect: Increases maximum essence and resistance to ignited, shocked, and frozen statuses. Beneficial for spellcasters, but also offers broader utility due to essence-based abilities.

Resolve: Improves maximum stamina and Second Wind efficiency. Synergizes well with heavy weapons and tank builds, also providing additional dialogue options with effects similar to Constitution.

Best Avowed Attributes, Ranked

While attribute effectiveness depends on your build, some offer broader benefits. Here's our ranking to guide your attribute point allocation:

6. Perception

Perception is highly situational. Increased critical hit chance and range for ranged weapons are valuable, but the frequency of their impact varies. Ranged combat is often less effective in close-quarters encounters common in Avowed. However, against specific enemy types, Perception becomes extremely useful, making it worth considering for specific encounters or character respecs.

5. Resolve

Increased maximum stamina is beneficial, but many unique armor pieces offer similar boosts, reducing Resolve's importance. Second Wind, while helpful, is often outweighed by focusing on increased health and mobility to avoid or mitigate damage.

4. Intellect

Intellect enhances maximum essence and elemental resistance. Elemental resistance is crucial for mitigating elemental damage, while increased essence benefits both magic users and those utilizing essence-based abilities across various combat styles.

3. Dexterity

Dexterity offers versatile improvements to attack and action speeds, enhancing mobility, item use, and weapon/ability speed. This attribute is a solid choice for all builds, improving overall DPS and agility.

2. Constitution

Constitution significantly improves maximum health and resistance to poison and bleed, two frequently encountered and potentially lethal status effects in Avowed. Increased health and resistance are crucial for survivability.

1. Might

Might is the most impactful attribute. Increased damage across all weapons significantly boosts DPS, while the carry capacity increase is invaluable for managing inventory and loot.

This ranking provides a framework for building your Avowed character. Remember that optimal attribute allocation depends on your chosen playstyle and build.
