Understanding your character's core statistics in New Dawn.
The Three Primary Stats¶
New Dawn uses three primary statistics that define your character's capabilities:
Strength (STR)¶
Primary Effect: Hit Points and Physical Damage
Dexterity (DEX)¶
Primary Effect: Stamina and Swing Speed
Intelligence (INT)¶
Primary Effect: Mana Pool
Stat Distribution¶
Stat Caps¶
Individual Stat Cap: 100 (base) Total Stat Cap: 225
Stat Growth
As you play, your stats will naturally increase toward the 225 cap. You can influence which stats grow by "locking" stats.
Stat Locks¶
Control which stats can increase or decrease:
- Up Arrow (↑) - Stat can increase
- Down Arrow (↓) - Stat can decrease to make room
- Lock (→) - Stat is frozen
Strategy:
- Set your primary stats to "up"
- Set unwanted stats to "down"
- Lock when you reach desired values
