When you\u2019re battling the unforgiving creatures and demigods of the Lands Between, the last thing you want happening is sleeping or worse, dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you didn\u2019t know, players and enemies in Elden Ring<\/a> can infect their targets with diseases such as Scarlet Rot, Frostbite, and Hemorrhage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re up against frenzied enemies, they can inflict Madness on you. Encountering bosses<\/a> like the Deathbird or Wormface also makes you prone to the Death Blight effect, and things can get ugly pretty fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Status effects are illnesses that are activated once their buildup meters reach 100%. When the gauge is filled, it can disable the unwilling target from making attacks or drain their health over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Players can take many different remedies to mitigate them, such as taking boluses or casting healing spells. However, you can achieve the same by boosting your defense stats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to know which defensive stats protect you from these illnesses, keep on reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus is a defensive stat that makes you less susceptible to sleep and madness. When you\u2019re under the sleep effect, enemies can take advantage of you and make critical attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you don\u2019t have to worry much as there aren\u2019t many enemies that put you to sleep. On the other hand, madness can be inflicted by frenzied rats, villagers, soldiers, hooded trolls, and the Festering Fingerprint Vyke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Madness gives your enemies higher ground as it takes away your health and focus points, rendering you unable to cast spells. However, all you (literally) need is focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vitality is a defensive stat that makes you more resistant to Death Blight. When an enemy constantly attacks you with the death effect and fills your blight meter, you die instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be extremely terrifying and anxiety-inducing when enemies cast this fatal effect, but thankfully, you can prevent this by increasing your vitality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus and Vitality are determined by your attributes, armor, equipment, and active-passive effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The primary attribute that improves your focus is Mind. You can raise your Rune and Mind level by spending runes, the soft caps for each of them respectively are 71, 111, 161 for rune level, and 40 and 60 for mind level.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat does Focus do in Elden Ring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
