What stats should I upgrade first in Dark Souls 3?

vigor and endurance equally up to 20. Personally, I think 20 endurance that early is overkill. You will prpbably want at least 25-30 eventually, but I would prioritize you vigor and damage stat until you hit your softcaps (40 in most cases), never letting your vigor lag mor than 5 points behind your damage stat.
