Warrior Strengths and Weaknesses

High Dexterity with Low Vigor and Endurance

The Warrior's best stat by far is its 16 Dexterity. Weapons that scale with Dexterity are recommended for use with the Warrior class. Also, it has a Mind stat of 12 and the FP is decent, you can also parry frequently, or improve your Intelligence and Faith to build a magic swordfighter build.

Best Stats to Level Up for Warrior

Raise HP for Stability

The Warrior's Vigor stat is on the low side, so it's recommended to invest in it to a point where you can take a few hits from enemies.

Increase Dexterity Next

It's recommended to lean into the Warrior's strong point and invest even more in Dexterity. Leveling up its Dexterity will make it harder to be thrown from your horse, and will allow you to make use of longswords and curved blades as well.

Level Up Endurance with Leftover Runes

If you have Runes burning a hole in your pouch, consider spending some in Endurance. Straight swords and curved swords will eat up your stamina bar because they require several swings.
