- Stats Explanation and Hidden Stats -


Others are self explanatory, so I'll jump to some stats that might be new to some players playing this game.

SPD (Attack Speed) 
   - Higher speeds will generate higher attack frequency or turns. This will also affect certain skills, for example: The Golden Shield's duration is 20 seconds, if you are a Speedster type, Golden Shield will wear off way faster than a slowpoke Tank, why?, because Speedsters takes more attacks, thus, more seconds per turn than the Tank, that's why when Tanks uses Golden Shield vs Speedsters, it feels like the duration is way too long!

HIT (Hit Rate)
   - Reduces the opponent's evasion rate.
   - Hidden Stat: HIT will also slightly increase the triggering probability of skills.

BRK (Armor Break)
   - Ignores your opponent's Defense stat when your Armor Break stat is higher. Armor Break is really a nice offensive type stat, especially for Fighters that doesn't have a nice STR BMV.

RES (Resilience)
   - Ignores your opponent's CRT (Critical Rate) stat when your Resilience stat is higher.
   - Hidden Stat: RES will also slightly increase your "Block" or "Parry" ability. Yeah sometimes Fighters will block attacks with their weapons.


Stats I Consider High or Low
   - Low BMVs: are 11 and below, 12 and 13 are acceptable, but above that is already high. At lower to mid levels, above 12 is not enough to fulfill the core builds below. Keep in mind though that "Lower is Better", even at higher levels the output is huge.

   - SPD: 200+ is already high enough, below 140 is still low.
   - HIT/EVA/BRK/DEF/CRT/RES: Aim for 700++, below 400 is still low.

- Skill Building General Guide -

Skill Building
   - You can actually build a lot of skill sets depending on the situation (PVP, PVM (countering skill sets), Team Instance, and more) or maybe based from your playing style. Mix, match, experiment, and try them all out to find which suits your needs!

   - PRO Release Skills (Expertise Bonus)
   - The only time that you should use the "Reset" skills option is when you have 3 or 4 PRO Release skills. Use it to adjust them the way you like, PRO release skills will affect the damage, duration or trigger probability of all the skills under them, choose wisely because you will consume Diamonds.

   - Example: If you want to increase the trigger chance of the "Shield Wall" skill, get a PRO release skill above the Genjutsu skills, after that, you'll permanently activate the Expertise Effect of all Genjutsu skills.

   - Note that certain Fighters will also increase the trigger chance of skills, depending on which Mastery they support. Example: If you'll choose a Genjutsu Master Fighter, the trigger chance of "Shield Wall" above will further increase.

- Fighter Core Build: The Punishers! -

Your aim is to get high Damage Output and Defense to fulfill the Punisher build. Punishers are kinda hard to build because they require a well rounded stats to adapt to all battle situations. Great against Tanks, but it might have trouble against Speedsters, but it would be a very cool clash!

Recommended Fighter BMVs:
   - Any Fighter with Low STR and STA BMVs ("lower is better"). If you prefer a certain Mastery, pick the right Fighter under that Mastery with nice BMVs.

Primary Stats:
   - [DEF] and [STR]

   - [BRK], [CRT], [STA] or [Min/Max ATK or ATK%]
   - Recommended stats that will go with your primary stats above.
