TheFextralife wikishows exact numbers on how theShadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragmentsaffect your damage and defense in the DLC.

Since the patch, things have changed slightly.

At max blessing level, you now deal 2.05x damage and take 0.487x damage.

That’s a roughly 2.5% buff to both stats, which is nice, but not exactly earth-shattering.

For me, the difference seemed pretty extreme.

That doesn’t seem like quite enough to make up for the deficit I faced against Rellana.

Does that mean these buffs are better than they look?

Am I bad at judging the value of stat increases?

Or was the real help the good night’s sleep and cup of coffee I got in the meantime?

These questions are sure to haunt me as I get deeper into the Realm of Shadow.
