Revision 6

Attributes are the character stats that the player invests in as they level up in Echoes of Aincrad. Each new level grants a pool of growth points that the player allocates to a chosen attribute, and the resulting numbers feed directly into combat performance, resource pools, and build identity.

Where Growth Points Come From

Every time the player gains a new level, they receive growth points to spend at their own discretion. The publisher framing for the system is the classic action-RPG formula: extending stamina, strength, dexterity, and other axes to fit a chosen playstyle. The investment is a meaningful choice rather than an automatic stat-block bump, which is why the getting-started guide treats the first allocation as part of the new-player checklist.

The Confirmed Attribute Axes

The publisher has named a portion of the attribute roster outright. The full list will be visible in-game from the level-up menu; the breakdown below is what has been described in marketing and developer commentary so far.

Early marketing named stamina, strength, and dexterity as example axes. The playable demo has since confirmed the full roster of seven attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Vitality, Endurance, and Mind. Stamina is not itself one of the seven. The size of the Stamina bar is governed by the Endurance attribute, and the SP pool by Mind.

How Investment Shapes a Build

Attributes are not the only knob the player turns. They sit alongside the player's chosen weapon types, their loadout of sword skills, their special skills, and the partner they bring along through the Switch System. Attributes tie all of those together: a high-stamina, high-strength build wants different sword skills and different partner support than a high-mind, high-dexterity caster of activations.

The single most important thing to remember when first allocating points is that the system is not designed to punish niche builds. The methodical pace of the combat system means a player who leans hard into one axis can still close fights, as long as their playstyle and skill loadout match the build's strengths.

Respec

Coverage of the April 2026 reveal noted that growth-point allocation can be respec'd by paying an in-game currency cost. The exact Col cost has not been published. The implication is that early-game commitments are not permanent: a build that turns out not to fit can be rolled back, although the price is intended to discourage churning the stat sheet between every fight.

Quick Reference

• Source of points: every level-up grants a fresh pool to spend.

• Confirmed axes (from the demo): Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Vitality, Endurance, and Mind, seven in total.

• Resource pools tied to attributes: the stamina bar (Stamina) and the SP pool (Mind).

• Damage scaling: strength favours weight-based weapons; dexterity favours skill-heavy builds.

• Build flexibility: respec is available for an in-game currency cost.

Growth Points and the Seven Attributes

Leveling up earns Growth Points that the player invests at the Inn to raise individual attributes. The demo exposes seven of them: Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Vitality, Endurance, and Mind. Each weapon type scales off different attributes, so a build is shaped by which of the seven you pour Growth Points into.

Attribute growth works alongside the separate Cardinal Rank progression, which gates what merchants and the Smithy will sell and scales how tough monsters become and what they drop.
