When leveling up your character in Elden Ring, you should be aware of the Soft Caps for each stat. A “soft cap” is the point at which you don’t gain many benefits from leveling up a stat. This information is useful because, after you achieve that state level, you can concentrate on improving your character’s other stats. So, let’s take a look at the Soft Caps in Elden Ring for each metric.
Elden Ring’s Soft Caps Stats:
As previously stated, a “soft cap” occurs when your character traits no longer benefit you as much as they did when you first started leveling up in Elden Ring. The Soft Caps for each stat in Elden Ring are listed below. This information was provided by Reddit member u/AshuraRC. You can read the whole of their post here. Also, thanks to Reddit user u/getcheddartv for updating the soft caps information in this thread here.
