Stat Building Guide
DIVE or DIE survivor stat allocation — Health, Sanity, Oxygen, and Carry Weight optimization for divers.
Manual Stat Allocation
The Town Hall provides manual stat point allocation on level-up. Four stats matter: Health (survivability), Sanity (madness resistance), Oxygen (dive duration), and Carry Weight (loot capacity).
Divers: prioritize Oxygen first, then Carry Weight, then Health, then Sanity. Building staff: invest in stats matching their role or ignore combat stats entirely.
Stat Synergies with Traits
Apnea trait supplements Oxygen investment. Raw Strength supplements Carry Weight. Unnatural Regeneration reduces Health priority. Combine stat points with trait selections for specialized builds rather than spreading points evenly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which stat is most important for divers?
Oxygen — it determines how far you can explore and whether you return alive.
Do building staff need combat stats?
No. Building staff rarely dive. Invest their level-ups in traits, not combat stats.
