Stats are the strengths and weaknesses of your game’s build or character. Stats also define the way your build interacts with the enemy during combat. The basic Stats in Elden Ring are Mind, Dexterity, Endurance, Vigor, Intelligence, Strength, Arcane, and Faith.

  • Dexterity: 46
  • Vigor: 35
  • Strength: 29

Dexterity

Dexterity is known to boost the attacking power of the person who is equipped with that build. It also helps in reducing the casting time of spells and magic.

While you’re at it, consider reading our Elden Ring Crystal Tear Locations guide. 

Vigor

Vigor, also written as VIG, has the most influence on HP. The more Vigor the build has the better their health pool is and they can take more damage. It also provides resistance to Fire and Immunity. Anyone who has a Vigor Stat has a better resistance towards Scarlet Rot and Poison effects too.

Another great Stat that governs the stamina of stamina in Elden Ring. If any build has greater Endurance, it can perform better throughout the game and have more actions while defeating the enemy. It improves the robustness of a player and even influences the Equip Load Stat. Equip Load will improve your evasive rolls. It provides resistance to Hemorrhage and Frostbite. 

Talismans

In Elden Ring, talismans are the building blocks for an effective build. Here are some of the best talismans in Elden Ring that I recommend for the Bolt of Gransax build in the game.

Shard of Alexander

The Shard of Alexander talisman is made up of Scraps of stewed flesh, tatters of ornaments, and lots of slimes that cling to the shard. The Shard of Alexander belongs to the late Alexander who was a shattered warrior jar. It has a 0.9 weight and it greatly boosts the attacking power of different skills. It increases the damage by 15%. The Shard of Alexander is available from Iron Fist Alexander Drops once the player completes his quest line.

It affects many sorceries, spells, and skills improving the charge attack power. It increases the damage by 15% but it does not affect any bow attacks. 

It affects many Ashes of War including Carian Grandeur, Charge Forth, and many more. Godfrey’s Icon can be found in the drops of Godefroy the Grafted. Godefroy the Grafted can be found at the Golden Lineage Evergaol.
