Even though an NPC named Helenya explains how to upgrade the character stats in The Last Faith, players are unaware she is the only NPC available for upgrading, often leading to backtracking for hours as they usually forget her location.
Where is Lady Helenya in The Last Faith? (Map Location)
You can find Helenya at the entrance of Oxneveylle’s Manor in Broken Pass. To quickly reach her, teleport to Oxneveylle’s Great Hall and exit the castle to find her sitting at the end of a broken wagoncart.

How to upgrade your character stats in The Last Faith
To upgrade your character in The Last Faith, you needNycrux—items you acquire automatically after slaying any creatures or bosses. Once you have enough, visit Lady Helenya choose the attribute you want to upgrade, and pay the Nycrux fee—the higher the level, the more the Nycrux. For example, scaling your Vitality stat to level 11 only requires 500 Nycrux, whereas upgrading to level 14 will require nearly 700 Nycrux. So, use your Nycrux carefully and upgrade stats that match your gameplay style.

As mentioned above, I highly recommend improving stats based on your gameplay and weaknesses. Still, I recommend increasing your Dexterity and Vitality to increase your resistance against bleeding & burn attacks, as they are a nuisance during your initial/mid-game.
