How to See Your Attributes in GreedFall 2
Pressing C will open up your character menu in GreedFall 2. This menu has several branches: Equipment, Skills, Attributes, Talents, and Statistics. It's worth picking a general build type early on. This will give you a better idea of which direction you want to head in as you accumulate points.
All the branches mentioned above work together to grant the player various special abilities, which can help them do everything from convincing and manipulating their way out of sticky situations to taking down groups of tough enemies without breaking a sweat.
If you open the Statistics tab, you can see all of your Skills, Attributes, Talents, and Equipment at work. This menu can really help you to get the most out of your playthrough. Since you have a party, you can select a different path for each party member. This will give you a healthy mix of abilities that can be very helpful in almost every situation.
Strength in GreedFall 2 Explained
- Impacts One-Handed Impact Weapons And Two-Handed Melee Weapons
- Increases Physical Damage And Crit Damage
Strength is the ideal way to go if you enjoy going in swinging. This Attribute is geared towards those warriors who don't care about taking things slow. As with most of the Attributes, it's worth selecting a character to be your 'tough guy.'
As for the weapons affected by this Attribute, while they aren't the fastest weapons to swing, they do cause a hefty amount of damage. Provided that enemies don't have any ranged attacks, running in with an axe can be very efficient at neutralizing enemies.
Agility in GreedFall 2 Explained
- Impacts One-Handed Blades And Dual Blades
- Increases Damage Output For Relevant Weapon Types While Increasing Dodge Rate With Each Level
Agility is great for those who prefer to use speed to take down their enemies. This Attribute affects some of the fast swinging items like one-handed bladed weapons. While you aren't going to inflict as much damage per swing when compared to two-handed weapons, you'll attack enemies a lot quicker.
Also, dodging can be a real lifesaver. Sometimes, battles that seem easy can quickly turn sour. A higher chance of dodging an oncoming attack can help get you and your party out of a sticky situation.
Perception in GreedFall 2 Explained
- Impacts Two-Handed Ranged Weapons, Traps, And Pistols
- Improves Damage Output With Relevant Weapons
By default, Nilan specialized in bows and other ranged weapons. Ranged attacks are incredibly powerful in GreedFall 2, especially when it comes to taking down enemies that don't have any ranged attacks. By having Nilan hiding out of sight and firing arrows, it's possible to take down enemies without taking any damage at all.
It's always good to have a ranged expert on hand during a battle. If your melee attacking party members run into trouble, you can pull them back and continue to inflict damage with ranged attacks while your other party members get to safety. Since there are quite a few ranged weapons in the game, it's possible to mix things up and use a combination of guns, bows, and traps to stop advancing enemies.
Will in GreedFall 2 Explained
- Impacts Teer Frandean Bracelets And Theleme Rings
- Increases Damage Output With Relevant Weapons While Inflicting Extra Magic Damage With Each Level
Magic can be very useful during battles. While it's a bit slow early on, as the player progresses through the game, they will begin to pick up new tricks to help them inflict much more magic damage during combat.
Out of the three starting characters, Nilan is the one with the largest Will by default. So, just like with his ranged attacks, placing a couple of points into Will for Nolan can be very handy during battles as it gives him a secondary attack type.
Endurance in GreedFall 2 Explained
- Improves Effectiveness Of Medium And Heavy Armor
- Increases Max Life With Each Level
- Increases Most Resistances With Each Level
Sheda's starting build is geared toward hand-to-hand combat. By default, she has a few points invested in the Endurance Attribute. Since she fights up close, she gets hit more often. So, by increasing the effectiveness of her armor, you can mitigate some of the damage she'd normally take.
Having at least one tanky character can be very handy during tough battles. Once one of your party members goes down in a battle, it is easy to get completely overrun. This will result in your entire party getting wiped out. If you have someone who can soak up damage, your chances of survival greatly increase.
Focus in GreedFall 2 Explained
- Improves Effectiveness Of Light And Medium Armor
- Increases Max Action Points By 1 Every 2 Levels
- Reduces Skill Cooldown By 3% Per Level
Similar to the previous entry, Focus is centered around the effectiveness of armor. Light armor tends to be more useful for those who need to be quick on their feet. Ranged fighters will benefit greatly from this particular Attribute. While it's better to invest more in some of the other Attributes first, Focus can give ranged fighters a nice edge that can potentially save the group from being killed.
This Attribute works well alongside the Endurance Attribute when it comes to wearing medium armor. It's important to have a good defense. Battles in GreedFall 2 are challenging. So, players will need to make use of everything at their disposal in order to come out victorious.
