Attributes

STR Strength Melee physical damage

• Status ATK: it goes fully into melee hits (and counts twice in damage: in the sum and the multiplier, so the return grows faster than linear).
• Does nothing for magic.

It also feeds the Combo archetype: each invested point is worth 0.15% mastery (floor of 40).

Who wants it: Melee fighters: Rune Knight, Royal Guard, Sura, Mechanic, cart Genetic and the Star Emperor.

AGI Agility Speed · flee

• Attack speed: +0.12 ASPD per point. The cap is 193 at 2nd job (7.1 hits/s) and 196 at 3rd job (8.3 hits/s, the 120 ms floor between hits).
• Flee and move speed (+1.5 per point).
• With daggers and katars, AGI is damage: on AGI-scaling skills it goes in fully and STR drops to a fifth, like DEX for bows.

It also feeds the Lethality archetype: each invested point is worth 0.15% mastery (floor of 40).

Who wants it: Guillotine Cross, Shadow Chaser, Taijutsu Kagerou and Oboro, and anyone who wants to dodge instead of relying on potions.

VIT Vitality HP · defense

• Max HP: your class and level HP table × (1 + VIT × 1%), × 1.25 if you were reborn.
• Physical DEF: +0.7 per point.
• Direct damage reduction: +0.15% per point, up to 30% (cuts a slice of everything incoming, physical or magical).
• Some skills turn your max HP into damage (Royal Guard, Rune Knight): there VIT is damage and defense.

It also feeds the Guardian archetype: each invested point is worth 0.15% mastery (floor of 40).

Who wants it: Royal Guard, the dragon Rune Knight, the tanky Sura — and a bit for everyone: it is your away-farming insurance.

INT Intelligence Magic damage

• Status MATK: INT counts twice in magic damage, like STR does for physical.
• Max SP and MDEF (+0.2 per point: cuts monsters’ magic hits).
• Cooldown reduction: +0.25% per point. INT alone stops at 30%; the game cap is 60%, and the rest only comes from gear and buffs.

It also feeds the Summoner / Elemental archetype: each invested point is worth 0.15% mastery (floor of 40).

Who wants it: Warlock, Sorcerer, Arch Bishop, chemistry Genetic, Soul Reaper and the Ninja’s Ninjutsu.

DEX Dexterity Hit · ranged damage

• Hit (accuracy) and a little ATK and MATK.
• Attack speed: +0.09 ASPD per point.
• With bows, instruments and guns the formula switches to the ranged version: DEX goes in fully and STR drops to a fifth. The archer’s "STR" is DEX.

It also feeds the Regency archetype: each invested point is worth 0.15% mastery (floor of 40).

Who wants it: Ranger, Minstrel, Wanderer and the Rebellion. Casters and melee take a little for hit.

LUK Luck Critical

• Critical chance: +0.35% per point (LUK 100 ≈ 35%), capped at 95% chance.
• Critical damage: a base critical hits +50%, and each point adds +0.15% (LUK 100 → +65%).
• A little ATK and MATK (a third per point).
• Classes that are not critical classes use half the chance; critical classes (the Thief line and the top of each family) use the full chance.

Who wants it: Guillotine Cross, Ranger and any build that prefers the critical path. Drop chance does not come from LUK.
