Elex: Character development, attributes and abilities

Our character is developed by increasing attributes and buying new abilities. Each level gives us 10 points that we can spend on increasing attributes and 1 ability point (remember that in order to upgrade a skill you need the right trainer). The character gets a level when he has a required amount of experience - you can get it by completing quests, killing enemies and drinking Elex Drinks.

Attributes

In Elex, attributes upgrade your character (more damage, health etc., depending on an attribute) and allow you to use better gear - each item in the game requires you to have a certain amount of a given attribute.

1. Strength - increases melee damage.
2. Constitution - increases health points.
3. Dexterity - increases reach of your attacks.
4. Intelligence - increases mana or PSI.
5. Cunning - increases social skills that allow you to convince others to and get what you want.

Abilities

Below, you can find a list of all abilities that are available in the game. Remember that in order to buy an ability you need to find the right trainer (more about that can be found in Lists - Abilities trainers). Also, you should know that Berserker, Outlaw and Cleric trees are available only after joining a given faction and you can join them only once.
