Levelling up grants attribute points to spend on each character's stats, and weapons scale off specific attributes. Pointing your levels at the stats your weapon and role actually use is a quiet but major power multiplier.
The core stats
❤️ Vitality
Raises max HP — survivability for characters that take risks or lack sustain.
💪 Might
Boosts physical power; the go-to for melee and weapon-scaling damage dealers.
🏃 Agility
Improves speed and turn order so your key characters act sooner.
🍀 Luck & Defence
Luck feeds crits and effects; Defence cuts incoming damage for your front-liners.
Allocating points
- Check what your equipped weapon scales with, then pump that attribute.
- Don't spread points thin — a focused stat line beats a jack-of-all-trades every time.
- Give risky burst characters some Vitality so a mistimed parry isn't fatal.
- Re-plan allocation if you switch a character to a weapon that scales differently.
Stat priorities by role
- Melee damage (Gustave, Maelle): Might first, then Agility to act sooner.
- Casters and status (Lune, Sciel): the stat their weapon scales with, plus Luck for crits.
- Front-liners: Vitality and Defence to survive taking the hits.
- Everyone: enough Vitality that one mistimed parry isn't an instant death.
