Elden Ring YouTuber Tests Max Level Impact on Nightreign

During a hectic match of Elden Ring Nightreign, it's challenging to pause and analyze complex statistics. Nightreign streamlines its character progression compared to Elden Ring's flexible point allocation system. So, what do these statistics signify, and which attributes should you prioritize?

YouTuber Zullie the Witch recently investigated the underlying mechanics to answer these questions. Although Nightreign simplifies advancement through automatic level-ups, Zullie demonstrates in their video how these predetermined values can still be analyzed and visualized.

The analysis revealed that the transition from level 1 to level 2 provides substantially greater benefits than any subsequent level increase, making that initial Site of Grace activation particularly impactful. Interestingly, levels 13 through 15 offer diminished returns for most characters, creating an effective soft cap around level 12. You'll continue gaining attributes, though the improvements become less significant than during the early stages.

Zullie also discovered that different attributes follow distinct scaling patterns. The Duchess character, for instance, displays a B rating in Dexterity and A in Intelligence, yet her actual point distributions remain surprisingly balanced across levels. Additionally, no character receives any Arcane attribute points through normal level progression.

For those interested in maximum potential, the Recluse character achieves the highest cumulative stats when transferred to Elden Ring's framework. According to Zullie, this results from the Recluse possessing identical growth patterns for Intelligence and Faith, both reaching their maximum values of 51 at level 15.

The research offers practical guidance for character development. Zullie determined that each Vigor point consistently provides 20 HP regardless of level. Furthermore, Relics that enhance attack power appear more influential during early gameplay but gradually lose effectiveness compared to alternative damage modifiers as progression continues.
