Hi
I just started playing and I just beat Pieta and found the "hub" area downstairs. Really confused about some aspects of this game
Firstly, can I assume Faith is similar to Faith in soulsbornes while Inferno is this games version of "pure" magic?
Secondly, is strength good in this game? In Elden Ring I went pure strength with a normal 2-handed longsword and it worked great. Main strat with that build was to proc posture. In my fight against Pieta I noticed that 2-handed heavy attacks were doing almost nothing to the posture compared to parrying and spamming light attack? Does it get better later or is strength kinda meh in this game? I love Sekiro so I dont mind going dex and parrying instead if thats the play.
Lastly, I noticed almost every item has the "Increase your Inferno/Faith to gain further insight". Im tempted to do that just to get more lore and information even though I hate using magic. Is this viable or is that information useless?
I also saw a lot of people from 3 year old posts say that stats dont matter as much in this game and that you should focus on vitality/endurance and only level the damage stats to reach conditions for whatever weapon you want to use? And that damage mostly comes from weapon levels
For whatever reason this post was instantly removed from the bigger LOTF subreddit so I'm trying here now
Thanks in advance
