As you defeat enemies inNieR: Automata, you’ll earn XP and level up. Leveling up is one of the ways you may increase your base stats and make your characters stronger, helping you take on the stronger machines you’ll face as you progressthrough the various stories.
Your level and stats earned from your level will carry over across all characters, so it’s always worthwhile to level up as those bonuses will always apply. Here’s the maximum level you can reach by grinding and also the level range you will want to reach when you complete all three storylines.
What Is The Max Level In NieR: Automata
Themax level you’re able to reach inNieR: Automatais level 99. It is not necessary to reach the max level to beat the main story line and the bosses within. Due to the level-based gameplay, over-leveling is possible, though there isalso a secret bossthat will push you to reach the max level in order the have the base stats just to be able to stand against them.
What Level Should You Beat The Game At
Players can comfortablybeat the base three stories within a range of levels 50-60. There is no level-scaling, so enemies later in the game will be at a set level, with the final dungeon of the game being in the 50s. Depending on the amount of side content you complete in each playthrough, you can easily hit level 60+ in one playthrough of each story. It’s also very possible to take on later-game enemies at a low level with the right plug-in chips that boost your stats, along with being skilled in the game’s combat mechanics andavoiding enemy attacks.
What Does Leveling Up Increase In NieR: Automata
While you can also increase your base stats with plug-in chips, leveling up will increase the following stats:
You can also choose to equip plug-in chips that let you see your XP bar to know when you are about to level up, along with an additional chip that lets you know how much XP you earned fordefeating an enemy. The death penalty inNieR: Automatacan hit hard if you lose all your chips, and you’llalso lose your current XP on your way to the next level, You won’t ever lose a full level, and the amount lost is always limited, though recovering your body will give any lost XP back.
