If you’re diving into Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you probably realized pretty quickly that Henry isn’t some overpowered warrior from the get-go. Nope, he starts as just a regular dude, and it’s up to you to grind, fight, talk, and run your way to greatness. Unlike some RPGs where you just level up once and get stronger across the board, KCD2 makes you work for each individual stat. Strength, Agility, Vitality, and Speech all level up separately, and each one impacts different aspects of gameplay.
So, if you’re tired of getting wrecked in combat or failing speech checks like a total amateur, here’s how to level up each stat like a pro.

Strength is the brute force stat, and it’s one of the easiest to level up—just fight, fight, and fight some more. The bigger and heavier your weapon, the more Strength XP you’ll get, so don’t be shy about swinging that massive two-hander like a true medieval powerhouse.
Want to speed things up? Wear heavy armor while fighting. The more weight you carry in battle, the more Strength XP you gain. Also, keep an eye on your weapon stats—using weapons with high Strength requirements will net you more XP.
What Strength Improves:
If Strength is the “Hulk Smash” stat, Agility is all about finesse. You gain Agility XP by using faster weapons, dodging instead of blocking, and just generally being a slippery little rogue. Using one-handed swords and daggers in combat will boost Agility faster than using massive warhammers. Also, stealthing around enemies—even if you don’t actually assassinate anyone—gives you XP. So, if you’re into sneaky gameplay, you’ll naturally level this up just by playing smart.
What Agility Improves:

This one is literally about staying active. Sprinting, jumping, vaulting over obstacles, and performing combos in combat all give you Vitality XP. The best way to max this out? Never walk anywhere—always sprint. Sure, Henry might get winded, but it’s all for the sake of becoming an unstoppable force. If you’re already fighting a lot, focus on landing combos. Not only do they give a nice boost to Vitality, but they also make you a much more efficient fighter.
What Vitality Improves:

Ah, Speech—the hardest stat to level up because you can’t just punch your way to better dialogue skills (sadly). Speech XP comes from talking your way out of problems, passing speech checks, and reading books. What is the best way to farm Speech XP? Engage in every conversation possible—especially ones that require persuasion, intimidation, or bribery. Side quests and the main story are your best friends here since many of them have dialogue-based solutions.
What Speech Improves:
