In *Avowed*, character attributes are paramount to success. Each of the six attributes—Might, Constitution, Dexterity, Perception, Intellect, and Resolve—offers unique benefits tailored to different playstyles. Let's rank them from least to most impactful.

Might: Boosts physical and spiritual strength, increasing damage output from all sources and expanding carry capacity. High Might also unlocks unique dialogue options, potentially intimidating foes or avoiding conflict.
Constitution: Enhances overall health and endurance, increasing maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding. It also opens specific dialogue choices.
Dexterity: Accelerates attack and action speeds, improving weapon and ability use, consumable consumption, parkour, and reload times. It's a significant mobility enhancer.
Perception: Increases critical hit chance and maximum range for ranged weapons (bows, wands, guns). While it offers extra dialogue options, their impact on gameplay is minimal.
Intellect: Raises maximum essence and resistance to ignited, shocked, and frozen statuses. Beneficial for spellcasters but also useful for those utilizing essence-based abilities.
Resolve: Improves maximum stamina and Second Wind effectiveness. Ideal for heavy weapon users and tank builds, unlocking dialogue options similar to Constitution.
While attribute effectiveness varies depending on build, some offer broader advantages. Here's our ranking:
Perception's benefits—increased critical hit chance and range—are situational. While useful against specific enemies or at range, *Avowed*'s frequent close-quarters combat often diminishes its overall impact. While some investment is worthwhile, it shouldn't be a primary focus.
Increased stamina and Second Wind improvements are valuable, but readily obtainable through equipment. While Second Wind offers a lifeline, prioritizing health and survivability through other means often proves more effective.
Improved maximum essence and elemental resistance are significant. Elemental resistance is crucial for survival, and even non-magical builds benefit from increased essence for various abilities.
Dexterity's across-the-board improvements to speed and mobility make it a valuable asset for any build. Increased attack speed and action efficiency boost DPS and overall gameplay fluidity.
Boosted maximum health and resistance to poison and bleeding are vital for survivability. Poison and bleeding are particularly dangerous, making Constitution a strong choice for any character.
Might's damage increase and carry capacity boost are game-changers. Increased damage significantly improves DPS, while the expanded carry capacity is invaluable for loot management and efficient gameplay. It's a must-have for virtually every build.
This ranking provides a guideline for attribute allocation in *Avowed*. Remember to adjust your approach based on your preferred playstyle and build.
