### Notes

---

- Early in the game, increasing your Vigor provides much more survivability than increasing Vitality to wear heavy armor. However at high armor upgrade levels, and high HP levels, Vitality can surpass Vigor.
- The HP increase after 50 Vigor is only slightly higher than the extra points you get from increasing any other attribute.
