No Rest For The Wicked: The Best Stats To Upgrade First (& How They Work)

is a souls-like ARPG that features a desolate environment, challenging bosses, and plenty of stats to upgrade as you level up. The core stats include Health, Stamina, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Focus. Each stat directly impacts your gameplay and character strength in direct, distinct ways.
