Despite Last Epoch'ssimilarities to Diablo, this game offers many unique mechanics and features to scale and improve your strategy. One of these is Attunement. Understanding the usefulness of this stat is vital for magical classes like Acolytes or Primalists, but investing points into Attunement should be a calculated decision based on your build.

Attunement directly affects the player's mana pool and the scaling of some innate skills of magic classes. But this stat can also scale the damage of some abilities in classes like Rogue, which may be surprising. So, let's delve into the topic of Attunement to find answers to your questions.

Last Epoch: 7 Beginner Mistakes To Avoid

Let's be frank, it's very easy to get overwhelmed by information and mechanics in the Last Epoch. So, here are some early mistakes to avoid.

What Is Attunement in Last Epoch?

Last Epoch: character

Attunement is one of the main stats in Last Epoch. It affects the mana pool and scaling of the skills of some classes. Attunement is a kind of analog of Wisdom in similar games, and thinking of it in this way can help clarify the situation for beginners. Each point in this characteristic will increase your mana pool by 2, which does not seem to be a very impressive indicator. But after investing more points, you will unlock the previously unattainable spells due to cost, and cheap spells will become nothing more than a spam resource.

Classes like Acolytes, Primalists, and Mages drain mana quickly. A hefty investment of points in Attunement can solve many of your problems, but this is just the beginning. After all, in addition to the mana pool, each point directly affects the scaling of many skills. Just as the damage from a sword scales with your Strength score, many magical-based abilities become stronger with Attunement.

Of course, you will notice almost no change in attack power when investing only a few points, but there will be an impressive increase by investing more. However, not all abilities depend on this stat. You can check the requirements of each spell or ability to see what stat affects them. To do this, hover your mouse over the skill and press ALT, which will show you all the stats necessary to scale its damage.

Last Epoch: How to Install Mods

Last Epoch has a handful of mods that can be used to edit or enhance your experience with the world of Eterra.

You can even filter all skills based on a specific stat on the Skills page, so you don't have to check each ability of your build separately. This recommendation is appropriate for any class, as you may be missing out on potential damage scaling due to an incorrect assumption about the nature of your ability. But don’t forget about Attunement Shards and forging, thanks to which you can increase Attunement indicators without innate magic skills.

Finally, it is worth adding that a large mana pool and increased damage from skills are of little use when mana regeneration is slow. Of course, classes like Primalist have high mana pools and mana regeneration permanently, but others need to look for alternatives. Therefore, when investing points in Attunement, do not forget to also invest in amulets, rings, belts, or affix shards to speed up mana regeneration.
