Vigor: 30
Adp: 24
End:20

Use -> Hammer/Thrusting-Sword early on till stats catch up to better weapons
Learn -> Circle Strafing and maneuvering around enemies/bosses instead of relying on blocking and dodging.

-and PS, MANAGE YOUR STAMINA.

Agility's soft cap is 110 not 100 and you need 99 Attunement and 7 Adaptability for that or 20-30 Adaptability and 30-50 Attunement but imo 99 Attunement is the best stat of the two

for those looking for real advice:
hp falls off big time after 50 Vigor, so don't level it past 50.

also, both attunement and adaptability boost a stat called Agility, which boosts i-frames from rolling, and slightly speeds up some item animations, such as healing. Agility falls off after 100. if you don't use magic and leave attunement at 4-6 without leveling it, you should get 100 Agility at 25ish adaptability.

get massive Health early on and you should withstand most attacks on NG , you priority ofc should be not do to be hit.but large health pool gives you a lot of Forgiveness.
And do the easiest parts first so u can als rack up decent damage. Id say skip Hybrid builds and go straight int STR. (Not meaning this as a Meme, a +10 GS with 50-60 stk hits much harder then anything i did with my overleveled hybdrid runs)

pick the easiest path to victory. always pick to fight the easiest fight. Then get stronger and pick the next easiest fight. The game isn't linear, there's no set order in which you have to fight bosses and enemies.

Wow, truly groundbreaking advice here. I had no idea that not dying involved... not taking damage. Step 2: Don't uninstall the game mid-fight, right?

in my personal experience i have found that you die with your health points hit zero

I followed this guide and got gud, thanks chad
