Portal Knights Attributes Guide
Portal Knights attributes are your character foundation and impact a number of class statistics as follows:
- The six attributes are constitution, strength, agility, dexterity, wisdom and intelligence.
- Players gain 3 attribute points per character level that can be spent on any of the attributes.
- Each class is aligned with two attributes which are displayed on character creation and in your attribute window.
- Players can reset their attribute points using the alchemy table recipe for the Potion of the Void. The recipe is available reasonably early although requires a rare energy crystal resource obtained from bosses, events and chests.
| Attribute | Details | Primary For Class |
|---|---|---|
| Constitution | Affects hardiness, each point increases your Health Points. | Warrior |
| Strength | Affects your striking power, each point increases melee attack damage and all Shapeshift attacks. | Warrior and Druid |
| Agility | Affects how fast you run, each point increases your Movement Speed. | Ranger |
| Dexterity | Each point increases ranged attack damage and all Rogue attacks. | Ranger and Rogue |
| Wisdom | Affects your ability to cast spells, each point increases your Mana Points. | Mage, Druid and Rogue |
| Intelligence | Affects your magic power, each point increases magical attack damage. | Mage |
Beginner Attribute Point Allocation: For beginners the best point assignment is to prioritise damage, then place points in your other class primary attribute that doesn’t increase damage but provides utility (if needed) and lastly place points into constitution to boost health (if needed).
For example in a Portal Knights Druid build you would focus on their damage attribute (strength), consider if you want to make a small investment in their other primary attribute for utility (wisdom) and then if you want some more health (constitution). Similarly a Portal Knights Rogue build would invest heavily in damage (dexterity), consider if extra mana is needed (wisdom) and then invest into constitution for extra health if necessary. These base Portal Knight classes are explored in our warrior, mage and ranger guides.
Advanced Attribute Point Allocation: For advanced players doing hard bosses you can place points only in your damage increasing attribute and constitution to have enough health that you feel comfortable as equipment can overcome utility needs.
Portal Knights Talents Guide
Talents in Portal Knights are separate to attributes and allow players to customise their class specific strengths, the following are the basic mechanics of the system:
- Players unlock a new talent tier at level 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.
- Players can select only one talent within each tier with each offering between 1 and 3 options.
- The talents available are based on your choice of Portal Knights class.
- Talents can be changed at anytime without restrictions.
The talents you select vary on class build and can dramatically impact your playstyle or the weapon choice you make from your equipment. Given there is no penalty for changing players are free to experiment with their own builds or Portal Knights community builds.
Talents are passive Portal Knight abilities and are distinct from skills/spells which are inventory items that you can equip on your hotbar and actively casted.
