In Elden Ring, Dexterity is one of the eight main attributes that players can spend Runes on to level up, increasing the stats effectiveness and influencing their relative secondary stats. Dexterity primarily affects a players ability to wield Dexterity-based Armaments, as well as the damage dealt by such weapons. It allows players to wield some of the most complex weapons in the game, such as unique Katanas, curved swords, twin blades, etc. . Dexterity also increases the damage dealt by ranged weapons and accuracy. It affects the cast speed of Sorceries and Incantations, and every point in Dexterity increases the cast speed slightly. Points in Dexterity reduce Fall Damage, as well as making it harder to get knocked off Torrent. Dexterity builds are powerful in both PvE and PvP in Elden Ring.
