Understanding how the No Rest for the Wicked Weight Class works makes all the difference when optimizing your character's stats.
If you are not familiar with soulslike games, you can be quite confused with the many character stats. Moreover, when your character suddenly starts rolling at a snail's pace, you will want to fix it somehow. And that's why you need to keep an eye on Weight Class.
How does Weight Class in No Rest for the Wicked Work?
As we said earlier, Weight Class affects your character's mobility. Speaking of which, your movement speed, attack speed, and dodge roll depend on this stat. There are a total of three Weight Classes in No Rest for the Wicked:
- Light - This is the lightest Weight Class that allows you to make quick dodge rolls over a long distance. Plus, it requires quite a bit of Stamina. This Class is suitable for builds focused on Dexterity, Faith, or Intelligence stats
- Normal - This Class is average and gives you a balance between moderate movement speed and the ability to wear armored equipment.
- Heavy - And finally, the last Class is suitable for warriors who prefer heavy armor and weapons. Due to the significant speed decrease, you will have to rely only on your strength.
It is important to note that your Weight Class is only affected by the equipment and weapons you equipped in No Rest for the Wicked. At the same time, the contents of your inventory are not taken into account when calculating your character's current weight. So you can carry even heavy equipment in your backpack without worrying about your mobility.
How to Change Weight Class in No Rest for the Wicked
Luckily, you can change your Weight Class in No Rest for the Wicked whenever you want. All you need to do for this is change your equipment to a lighter one or, on the contrary, a heavier one. Of course, at later stages of the game, this will be more difficult to do, due to the build you invested in.
There is also a way to wear heavier armor and weapons without changing your Weight Class. To do this, you must increase the Equip Load stat by investing points into it. This way, you can wear medium-weight equipment and still have a Light Weight Class.
That's all you need to know about how Weight Class works in No Rest for the Wicked. This stat has a crucial role in creating a build, as it affects the overall mobility of the character, including dodging. So don't forget to invest in the Equip Load stat from time to time.
