Here's the Elden Ring stat you need to level before Shadow of the Erdtree
We're almost there, folks - more than two years after Elden Ring dodge-rolled into our lives as arguably one of the greatest games ever made, the game's meaty expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, is just weeks away.
While the base game provided a challenge, veterans have been tweeting their advice for preparing for the DLC. While so much is still under wraps, there's one stat players need to look to buff before June 21 - Vigor.
Time to level your Vigor for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Longtime Elden Ring players have been pooling their collective knowledge on X (formerly Twitter), and the clear stat to work on for your build is Vigor.
As much as @dangitjm admits the best plan is still to avoid being hit, they also showcased a video on the platform showing them taking the full brunt of Malenia's Waterfowl Dance with levelled Vigor and surviving to tell the tale.
Doubling down, the poster replies to a comment suggesting that 60 Vigor should be considered a sort of "softcap", and that it translates to 1900 HP.
Streamer Oroboro even goes so far as to say "If your Elden Ring build has less than 60 Vigor at level 125 or higher it's not a good build."
