Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Soft Caps Explained

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, a new Souls-like from the creators Nioh, comes a comprehensive RPG system. Like many other games that fall in the same genre as Wo Long, the game features what is known as a hard cap and a soft cap. While the hard cap is the maximum amount of points you can allocate to a specific character stat, the soft cap is slightly different. Read on as we explain “soft cap” in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

Soft Caps Explained

A soft cap is where you begin to have diminishing returns as you continue to level up a specific stat. In other words, if you reach a particular level on one stat and continue to level up the same stat, you won’t get as much of a bonus as you would if you put that point towards another stat. I know it can get confusing. Let’s go over an example.

Say you reach level 20 in attack power, and every time you level up, you get a 2% boost. As you continue into level 21 for attack power, you will only get a 1% boost. This makes level 20 the soft cap, and you will get diminishing returns and should put your points elsewhere to maximize your potential.
