It is trained by fighting with no encumbrance and light weapons. Stats and What Do They Meanĭepending on what path you choose you are going to need different kinds of stats to deal more damage.ĭexterity increases your cutting damage, and is helpful when fighting with katanas or hacker class weapons, or anything that really has any cutting damage. The other weapon classes are a combination of blunt and cutting damage or purely blunt, I won’t mention crossbows because I don’t see a way to play solo with that, those are more of a support damage type if they ever hit at all.īasically pick whatever you want except for crossbows, but keep in mind that martial arts are more difficult to level up because they have no dummies, and you frequently injure your limbs when hitting enemies, at least at the start.

That aside, swords focus on cutting damage and deal about half as much damage but rely on bleeding to deal with opponents instead, especially if they are heavily armored, each hit makes your enemies bleed which will eventually make them die, unless they are weak enough to be dealt in a few hits anyways. Even mid-game stats martial artist will outright kill or tear off a limb in a single hit on dust and starving bandits, seeing those 200 damage hits and limbs flying around, if that ain’t hilarious I don’t know what is. I’ll briefly mention the various weapons you can use, after playing with swords up to 90 points in everything I went for martial arts instead, and let me tell you nothing hits that hard.

So for whatever reason you want to play with a solo character, whether like me you don’t want to manage a lot of characters, or perhaps just want to see your guy/gal single handedly take care of swarms of bandits and be the last one standing.
