A collection of stat lists from the Dark Souls 2 beta have been uploaded to Reddit and feature the Japanese names of the various stats which are included in the game.
The stats currently known are:
- Vigor: This was referred to, and seems to replace, Vitality from Dark Souls 1. It's possible this will be changed for the English version or when the game exits beta for full release in Japan.
- Vigor determines the equipement burden rate.
- Endurance.
- Attunement: This relates to spell slots and casting speed.
- Strength: A heavy weapon stat which influences weapon damage.
- Dexterity: This increases the chance that weapon strikes will lead to Bleed. There's no mention of poison, just Bleed.
- Resistance: A defensive stat; this reduces the chance of Bleed.
- Agility: A new stat which impacts on movement rate, evasion, and guard.
- Intelligence: This is required for magic and fire spells. It increases the power of your attacks while reducing the damage you take from spells.
- Faith: You'll needs this for miracles, lightning, and dark spells. It increases the power of those attacks while weakening the damage from them.
Recently, a host of new details about the game's features emerged from the beta. Dark Souls 2 is set to be even harder than the original and is launching on March 11th, 2014 in North America and on March 14th in Europe for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
