Status

The Status screen showing the statistics of the current character; in this case, Dart, after Kazas (Armet, Heat Blade, Iron Kneepiece) and before Donau (D'LV 3). The stats of equipment, like the AT of the Heat Blade and Power Wrist, are added together in the "Weapon" column

Combat statistics for characters in battle can be seen on the Status selection screen off the Menu. Their Dragoon forms' statistics are separate, and harder to find, but always much higher. Attack and defense statistics will rise with characters' level; others are only affected by equipment.

Character level

• HP (Hit Points): Each point of damage reduces one Hit Point, and at zero HP the character is incapable of any action.
• AT (Attack): Increases damage dealt by physical attacks
• DF (Defense): Decreases damage received from physical attacks
• M AT (Magic Attack): Increases damage dealt by magical attacks and magical attack items
• M DF (Magical Defense): Decreases damage received from magical attacks

Equipment-only

These stats are unaffected by character levels. Equipping certain items, and using the Power Up and Speed Up Repeat Items can raise most of them.

• SPEED: Speed affects the time it takes for each character's turn to come around.¹
• A-HIT (Attack Hit): Affects chance of physical attacks hitting
• M-HIT (Magical Hit): Affects chance of magical attacks hitting
• A-AV (Attack Avoidance): Gives a chance of physical attacks missing completely, doing no damage
• M-AV (Magical Avoidance): Gives a chance of magical attacks missing completely, doing no damage.

¹ Dancer's Shoes and Dancer's Ring for female characters and Bandit's Shoes and Bandit's Ring for males can improve speed greatly. There is also the Magical Greaves for all characters, which can be bought in Ulara at the start of disc 4.

Hit Points

HP

A few Accessories and armor raise Hit Points (HP). This is one of the Stats that rise with character level. Males generally have higher HP; there is no balancing factor for females. HP, like Defense, Magic Defense and the Avoidance stats, is a passive stat that exists to create a challenge against which player actions can be measured; it does not contribute directly to the effort, IE, it does not add damage.

Hit Points at character level, and (estimated value):

Level	Dart	Rose	Haschel	Lavitz/Albert	Meru	Kongol	Shana/Miranda
10	300
20	1077				646		861
30	2168	1517	1951	2384		2818	1734
40	3351	2345	3015	3686	2010	4356	2680
50	5801
60	7500

Attack

AT

All weapons, and only a few Accessories and no armor, raise Physical Attack (Attack or AT). This is one of the Stats that rise with character level. Males generally have higher AT, balanced by females having higher Magic or Magical Attack (MAT).

Attack at character level, and (estimated value):

Level	Dart	Rose	Haschel	Lavitz/Albert	Meru	Kongol	Shana/Miranda
10	22
20	47				37		29
30	72	70	90	108		143	43
40	97	88	121	146	62	198	61
50	122
60	150	104

Defense

DF

All armor, and only a few Accessories and no weapons, raise Physical Defense (Defense or DF). This is one of the Stats that rise with character level. Males generally have higher DF, balanced by females having higher Magic or Magical Defense (MDF).

Chances are, Shana has higher defense, at higher levels, than you think. Chances are, Meru has less. Rose has more of everything at lower levels, than everyone else; chances are, Rose has less of everything, at higher levels, than you think.

Defense at character level, and (estimated value):

Level	Dart	Rose	Haschel	Lavitz/Albert	Meru	Kongol	Shana/Miranda
10	23
20	48	45			33		33
30	73	76	73	97		148	48
40	98	90	98	131	75	187	63
50	123
60	150	142					149

Magic Attack

MAT

Higher in females than males, as a rule, but Dart ending up higher than Rose at the highest level, 60, and Haschel higher than either. Males get a higher bonus to MAT in their Dragoon form, which evens things up a little. Dart, again, is the exception, with a bonus equal to Rose's.

Monsters such as the Dark Elf will use their Magic Attack stat for what appear to be physical attacks; in this example, its Detonate Arrow.

Magic Attack at character level, and (estimated value):

Level	Dart	Rose	Haschel	Lavitz/Albert	Meru	Kongol	Shana/Miranda
10	21
20	46	59			70		87
30	71	72	54	48		35	143
40	96	89	95	66	145	48	194
50	121
60	150	150					255

Magic Defense

MDF

Higher in females than males, as a rule, with Dart ending up equal to Rose at the highest level, 60, and Haschel higher than either.

Magic Defense at character level, and (estimated value):

Level	Dart	Rose	Haschel	Lavitz/Albert	Meru	Kongol	Shana/Miranda
10	21
20	48	50			63		89
30	71	79	56	45		32	144

50	121
60	150	150					254

Speed

Dancer's Shoes and Dancer's Ring for female characters and Bandit's Shoes and Bandit's Ring; each adds 20 Speed. There is only one Bandit's Shoes, whereas any number of the others can be "farmed" as drops. There is also the Magical Greaves for all characters at 10 Speed, which can be bought in Ulara at the start of disc 4.

Male Dragoons (the slowest three characters) are slower than female (the fastest two characters) as a rule, with Rose falling behind third fastest Haschel.

From fastest to slowest: Meru 70, Shana/Miranda 65, Haschel 60, Rose 55, Dart 50, Lavitz/Albert 40, and Kongol 30.

It is assumed that the Speed Up Repeat Item doubles the total speed, including Equipment, but the wording of the item's description does nothing to specify this.

Monster Speed starts around 50 at low levels and continues most of the game at around 60 to 70. This means enemies will occasionally get turns twice compared to slower characters.
