Dexterity Stat Explained

Determines a Character's Accuracy and Evasion Rating

The Dexterity stat of a character will determine their accuracy rating as well as their evasion ratings. Accuracy refers to the likelihood of successfully hitting an attack on a target with either a melee or ranged weapon. Evasion refers to a character's likelihood of evading from an attack.

Players can view their Dexterity stat, as well as other important stats and attributes, from the character screen.

How to Increase Dexterity

Equip Items with Dexterity Modifiers

Players can increase their Dexterity stat by equipping items that have +X to Dexterity. In addition to weapons and gear, items in your Jewelry slot work particularly well with Dexterity as this is where you usually get the ideal +X to Dexterity.

Choose Passive Skills That Boost Dexterity

Another way players can increase this stat is by selecting passives on the skill tree that increase Dexterity. Do note that there will be passives that can also have other bonuses on top of the additional Dexterity stat.
