Can You Respec in No Rest For The Wicked? – Answered

I’m a huge fan of the RPG genre. I love to delve into the nitty-gritty of a character build, focusing on the ideal stats and equipment to flesh out my play style, even if that means ignoring the meta to suit my own style. But a big part of that stems from the ability to respec stats. So, can you respec in No Rest For The Wicked?

Can You Respec Stats in No Rest For The Wicked

As of right now, you cannot respec in No Rest For The Wicked. Once you place points into your various stats upon leveling up, that’s all she wrote. Developer Moon Studios said they wish for your actions and choices to have lasting consequences—an air of permanency.

That said, the studio heard the cries for the ability to respec stats in the game. They recently revealed they’re working on a mechanic that will allow us to alter our stats, though it will be a costly endeavor. They don’t want all of us respeccing on a whim.

Best Stats in No Rest For The Wicked

The currently available attributes in the game include:

  • Health
  • Stamina
  • Strength
  • Dexterity
  • Intelligence
  • Faith
  • Focus
  • Equip Load

I recommend placing points into Health, Stamina, Dexterity, and Equip Load early on in your adventure. You’ll find you’re quite squishy and slow in the early game, so you want to increase your ability to take a hit, dodge effectively, and carry your currently-equipped items without worrying about movement speed.

After that, it totally depends on your play style and build intentions. If you want to spec into a two-handed damage-dealing brute, then place a bunch of points into Health and Strength. If you prefer the quick-hitting rogue-style of gameplay, then Stamina and Dexterity.
