Level is a Stat in Code Vein. This stat reflects the player character's Level, and is increased by using Haze at a Mistle. Unlike other games, players do not level up individual stats or attributes, and instead increase a total baseline for the character.

Level Information & Notes

• Leveling up is done at Mistles. The highest level possible is 300.
• When a player levels up, they cannot choose to level up individual stats. Stat distribution is determined by Blood Codes and for gifts by Blood Veil, however the raw numeric value gained by the stat distribution is determined by level.
  
• The Player Character (PC) gains Hit Points (HP) and Stamina with each level. These are the only stat change you can see reflected on the leveling menu. The actual amount varies by your currently equipped Blood Code, and changing blood codes can accordingly, change the amount of stamina and HP you have.
• The character level determines all weapons' actual Physical Attack by adding Base Damage and Scaling Damage. This differs by your weapon stats (like scaling) + your current Blood Code, which is then affected by your current level.

Important Notes About Leveling

• Leveling can prevent the player from Mastering gifts. This happens because each area has a level cap for Gift Experience (Gift EXP), and if the player goes above said level, they will stop gaining Gift Experience from that area.
  • This level cap increases with each higher NG+ cycle the player enters, allowing players to gain Gift EXP again if their level proved to be too high for their current playthrough.
  • Mastering Gifts with Awake MJ items is not affected by this in any way.
• Players looking for optimizing their leveling as well as being able to master gifts can work on a rule of thumb: For each of the Bosses they kill of the main game (So no DLC or Depth Bosses), they can level up 7 levels. This will allow them to keep mastering any gifts they want by killing enemies, while staying at a good level for each area.
  • So for example, the PC starts at level 1. When they kill their first boss, you can level up to level 8. When they kill their second boss, they can go to level 15, etc.
    • Please note that while this is not the most accurate rule of thumb (areas have specific level caps), this ensures the player will always recieve Gift Experience if they progress through the game normally.  This would prevent them from getting gift experience in earlier areas, however.
