Stats in Nioh 2 affect the overall combat and effectiveness of the player. Improving their values will improve the player's ability with Weapons, Armor and more. Core Stats in Nioh are basic Stats that affect the player's Life, Ki, what Weapons and Armor they can equip, etc. For more in depth information on each stat please see the appropriate page.
How do you allocate Stats in Nioh 2?
All weapons scale off several stats, so you should consult your preferred kind of weapon and assign points accordingly. You should also mind some Armor has stat requirements. Do not neglect to put points into Heart / Courage for Ki regeneration, Dexterity and Magic if you want to make use of them. If you feel you made a mistake, you can re-spec your skills by visiting the Blacksmith and purchasing a Book of Reincarnation for 10,000 gold, or from the Hidden Teahouse for 1000 glory. Be careful that the price goes up everytime you buy one!

Anonymoushow can i break the lvl of 99 on my stats
ive saw people that is same level than me but they have 150 on contitucion, or 120 on stamina, i have all on 99, how can i rise more lvl on my stats? or when?
so, as of the moment, i have 30 in all core stats (DotS/NG+) except stamina which i have 50 so i can wear heavier medium armors (a bit excessive, but i started as a heavy/odachi char in NG).
my question is should i reroll for any specific build or is my spread ok seeing im swapping weapons whenever i get a weapon to 30 proficiency since it wont go any higher.
i have odachi, switchglave, katana, duel blades, and split staf maxed and i use both onmyo and ninjutsu... am i spread too thin? probably a silly question... the game is certantly playable, but would i do more dmg/take less dmg if i focused my build better?
using gallant set and matching katana as main weapon and 2nd weapon is any one im NOT maxed out on at the time.
So I've noticed that the Equipment Menu and Status menu don't show the same attack number. My equiment menu tells me my weapon has 753 attack, but the Battle Stats say its attack is 709. Why is this? Which number is my actual attack score? Its like this for any weapon I equip. The Status screen always shows a lower number.
