- Faith: 33
↖ Stat allocation for a level 150 character
For a level 150 character, you can slightly adjust the stats without sacrificing too much intelligence. A balanced distribution is recommended, allowing you to use both the Darkmoon Greatsword and Knight Comet effectively. Consider the following distribution:

- Faith: 33 (for buffs)
- Other stats: Allocate as needed for survivability and equipment requirements
