Best Spear Build
Focus on Constitution
Because Constitution scales with Spears the most, focus on leveling up Skill. Leveling up Strength is also effective since Spears are compatible with Medium Armors.
Weapons that requires somewhat similar stats but scale differently are the Sword, Dual Swords, and Kusarigama.
Balanced Stats for Early Game
The status increase between level 5 to level 10 is large compared to other levels for all stats. Therefore, it’s better to balance out your stats rather than focusing on just one stat in the early game.
