Quick Answer

Best stats plan: invest in one main faculty, keep one perception skill strong, and add one social or investigation skill. For endings, prioritize Personalism, Cold Read, Statehood, Sensors, and Records.

Spoiler-Light Hint

Stats are not just success rates; they decide which voice explains the world to you.

Full Guide

Best stats short answer

Choose one primary identity, then cover two blind spots. Action builds should add social or records support. Relation builds should add Sensors or Records. Intellect builds should add Cold Read or Personalism.

First-run distribution

Use a focused spread instead of flat points. A practical early spread is main skill high, two support skills medium, and the rest untouched until repeated checks prove they matter.

Best stats for endings

Ending-focused routes benefit from Personalism, Cold Read, Statehood, Sensors, and Records because they reveal people, factions, warnings, and remembered context.

Best stats for gun route

Technoflex, Grey Matter, Records, and Sensors support the craft route. If you are not technical, save Sol and compare the bought gun route instead.

Best stats by playstyle

Exploration: Sensors, Coordination, Instincts. Social: Personalism, Cold Read, Nerve. Investigation: Grey Matter, Records, Sensors. Technical: Technoflex, Grey Matter, Records. Endings: Personalism, Cold Read, Statehood, Sensors, Records.
