Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree just got a little easier thanks to a new patch that makes Scadutree buffs stronger, and my own before-and-after experience with one of the expansion's more notorious bosses made it seem like a night-and-day change. But players have now done the math on the new buffs, and the numbers are so small I don't know what to believe anymore.
The Fextralife wiki shows exact numbers on how the Shadow of the Erdtree Scadutree Fragments affect your damage and defense in the DLC. Before the patch, the first blessing level would give you 1.05x damage dealt and 0.952 damage received, roughly a five percent buff on both stats. The progression from there was pretty linear - a full 20 blessing levels would get you to double damage dealt and half damage received.
