Elden Ring Soft Caps For Each Stat & Attribute

In the Elden Ring game, each level has a soft cap. In the process of trying to level up your Elden Ring game character, it is important to note the soft cap for each stat. This guide is important because when you reach that stat level, you can then shift your focus to other stats of your game character.

What Are Attribute Soft Caps in Elden Ring?

Attribute soft caps in Elden Ring means that there are points in Elden Ring game, where increasing a stat becomes increasingly less effective.

For example, let’s say you have a character with 100 HP. If you increase their Vigor from level 1 to 20, their HP will increase to 200. However, if you then try to increase their Vigor from 20 to 60, their HP will only increase to 250. Thie reason for this is that there’s a soft cap at level 40, which makes each level you put into Vigor after that much less effective.

There’s also another soft cap for Vigor at level 60, which makes it almost pointless to bring the stat above the highest soft cap. Even if the Elden Rings gamer completely maxes out Vigor, you will only get another 10 HP for 39 levels!

It is important to note that these in-game stats do not have any limits. Every Attribute in the game has many soft caps that, if reached, will lead to diminishing returns for additional Runes spent on getting them. In the course of subsequent paragraphs, we will be looking at Soft Caps for the Attributes in Elden Ring game.
