Demon's Souls Remake: Character stats - list Demons Souls PS5 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 28 June 2021

On this page of the guide to Demon's Souls Remake you will learn about the main statistics of your character, which attribute is responsible for your health, stamina or damage from magic attacks.

Your character has 8 main stats that you can improve when interacting with the Maiden in Black in The Nexus. Each of them is responsible for a specific thing, such as the maximum level of health. In addition, some weapons require a sufficient amount of points in a given statistic to use them correctly.

1. Vitality - is responsible for the maximum level of health points, increases the maximum inventory capacity and affects the defense against physical attacks.
2. Intelligence - controls maximum mana points (MP) and increases the number of spells that can be cast. If you play as a magician, it is recommended to invest a maximum of 40 for this stat, as this is the maximum of additional slots for spells (the maximum is six slots for spells).
3. Endurance - by investing in it, you will increase your maximum stamina, strengthen your resistance to fire, poison, or bleeding, and increase your maximum inventory capacity.
4. Strength - it is responsible for dealing damage with strength-based weapons and reinforces physical damage in general.
5. Dexterity - responsible for more physical damage and the potential to inflict additional damage from dexterity-based weapons. Moreover, it reduces the damage received from a fall.
6. Magic - the most important stat for magicians, increases damage dealt by spells and weapons that deal additional magic damage.
7. Faith - the most important statistic for the priest, increases the damage dealt by miracles and weapons that scale with this statistic, in addition, increases the number of possible miracles. It also increases resistance to magic.
8. Luck - responsible for the loot frequency, strengthens resistance to the plague.

In short, for a player focused on short-range combat, the most important statistics to develop will be: vitality, endurance, and strength / dexterity, depending on the type of weapon you want to use.

For a magician, the most important statistics will be: intelligence, which will increase mana and spell slots, and magic, which will increase the magical damage.

But for a priest, strength, endurance and faith will be important, because usually weapons that scale well with faith are quite heavy and need many strength points.
