How to Upgrade Stats in Ghost of Yotei

6 stats determine Atsu’s strength and how effective his abilities are in Ghost of Yotei. The game doesn’t clearly explain what these stats do, so let’s break them down. We’ll cover what each stat affects and how to improve it, helping you create the ultimate Onryo to defeat the Yotei Six and the Saito Outlaws, and ultimately become the hero Ezo needs.

What Does the Onryo Stat Do & How to Upgrade It in Ghost of Yotei

The Onryo stat affects how often Atsu’s Terrify ability works. Increasing this stat gives enemies a higher chance of becoming Terrified. You can improve the stat by defeating enemies, throwing weapons, and using the Onryo ability itself. When an enemy is Terrified, they won’t attack and might drop their weapons, making them much easier to defeat. Players can boost the Onryo stat by equipping Charms and Armor that specifically enhance the Terrify effect.

What Does the Melee Stat Do & How to Upgrade It in Ghost of Yotei

The Melee stat determines how much damage and how well Atsu performs in close-quarters fighting using her Katana and other close-range weapons. A higher Melee stat means Atsu will inflict more damage with melee weapons and become more effective at parrying and dealing overall damage. You can improve this stat by leveling up her Combat skills, equipping Charms, and using better Armor.

What Does the Ranged Stat Do & How to Upgrade It in Ghost of Yotei

The Ranged stat determines how quickly and powerfully you use Ranged Weapons, such as Bows and Muskets. If you prefer fighting from a distance, increasing your Ranged stat is beneficial. It improves your damage output, extends slow-motion duration, and speeds up reloading. You can improve this stat by equipping Charms, learning Ranged Skills, and using special Armor.

What Does the Defense Stat Do & How to Upgrade It in Ghost of Yotei

Your Defense stat determines how much damage you can withstand and how much health you have, essentially letting you survive more attacks before being defeated. This stat is crucial in battles. You can improve it by using Charms and equipping different Armor/Outfits, which will also boost your ability to resist being staggered, widen your parry timing, and generally reduce the damage you take from both enemies and hazards like cold and flames.

What Does the Utility Stat Do & How to Upgrade It in Ghost of Yotei

The Utility stat makes cooking, crafting, and scavenging more effective. Unlike other stats, Utility doesn’t affect combat. Instead, players can increase it by using Charms and Outfits that offer bonuses to camping, cooking, crafting, and exploring. This can lead to finding more loot from enemies and the environment, as well as receiving extra benefits when eating or gathering resources.

What Does the Stealth Stat Do & How to Upgrade It in Ghost of Yotei

The Stealth stat controls how quickly enemies spot you while sneaking and how much noise you make. You can boost your Stealth by equipping Charms and Armor, which offer benefits like quieter running or increased time before an enemy detects you. Some Charms can also speed up your ability to perform a stealth takedown, or assassination.
