Soft caps for each stat and attribute in Elden Ring 2023 – Patch 1.09.1
Runes are a precious resource in Elden Ring, and you never know when a rogue boulder is around the corner to pilfer them from you. To ensure you’re spending Runes and leveling up your character as efficiently as possible, we’ve detailed everything you need to know about Elden Ring’s Attribute soft caps in this guide.
When you’ve raised an Attribute to a certain number, the benefit gained from leveling it will become less significant. This is known as the “soft cap” or sometimes as a “breakpoint.”
For example, Vigor increases HP by an average of +29.5 until the player reaches 40 Vigor. From 41-60, this decreases to an average of +22.5. From 61 onward, this reduces even further to a measly +5.1.
Simply put, leveling Vigor beyond level 60 typically isn’t worth your Runes. Investing them into another stat would be far more beneficial — unless you have Runes coming out of the wazoo.

Vigor affects how much HP your character has, as well as fire resistance and Immunity. Everything is out to kill you in Elden Ring, and they’re all damn good at it. Since you need all the health you can get, we suggest investing a minimum of 40 Vigor into any character.
Mind affects your character’s FP (Focus Points) and Focus stat. Interestingly, the FP you gain from Mind actually increases after you invest 15 points and increases again from 36-50. It begins to decrease slightly from 51-60 before hitting its true soft cap at 61+.
How much you should invest in Mind depends on the magic skills you plan to use. If you’re consistently running out of FP during fights, focus on increasing Mind until you can safely use your skills without worrying about resource management.
