Best Bonus Stats for Each Character in Sea of Stars

[@iThing89]

The answer is MP. Awlays prioritze MP. Get your chatacters able to use their abilites twice or three times without regen before anything else.

[@Dustman1028]

Yes this is the answer. Lol Mp is so important

[@realmless4193]

If we are talking about Re'Shan, B'st or Garl, I would like to disagree.

[@Dustman1028]

@@realmless4193 I could see MP not being too important for Garl but the others I would still think so.

[@realmless4193]

@@Dustman1028 I don't know, B'st just wasn't my guy, my people never needed reviving, and Reshan's normal was just objectively better than his specials for the purposes of lock-breaking. My Re'Shan would use Abeyance to get all the enemies in one place and then normal for the rest of the round. My B'st would just not do anything except throw in an unnecessary attack when my other guys couldn't or to break a very specific set of locks when I had the right guys locked up.

[@zeldamaster52]

Early game I chose HP or MP, though, in the mid game I'd go between MP or an attack stat with the occasional defense boost if enemies were hitting hard. Once you get the amulet that adds +20 HP to the whole team, you never need to pick it as a level bonus.

[@Dustman1028]

Having MP is a must for me. I switched between that and Physical Attack or Magic

[@somean2482]

Thank you for the spoiler alert. Im enjoying the game a lot, and i am grateful for the warning !

[@Dustman1028]

I’m glad you are enjoying it. It’s sooooo good!

[@Mariofan317]

I just tried to have all the stats ballanced and it worked 🐖

[@clefable6]

This was my thought too. Glad it worked out. If the game had a higher difficulty, optimizing would likely be ALWAYS MP then increase primary offensive stat and the occasional defensive stat. But, armor seems to pick up a lot of the defensive slack so, yeah

[@kingheenokgaming4783]

It doesn't matter. There is 30 level and whatever you choose you get the same max stats at the end because some option stops to show up after a couple of pick. For an easy set up, always prio mana>dmg>hp>defense.

[@alien5589]

I found myself using b’st revive a lot so I could have more heal/mp group food

[@richardklein1167]

I'm doing magic defense on Zale, physical attack on Valere and HP on Garl. As for Ser'ai and Resh'an I might do magic defense and defense on them respectively because getting hit by Romaya's magic way back when was annoying. I keep seeing other enemies drop aoe attacks on the party too. I feel like Resh'an being essentially the world's progenitor wizard he doesn't actually need magic attack boosts. I don't know about B'st but the way locks work you can't always stop an enemy attack before they launch it nor reduce the damage as much as hoped with button presses.

[@vergillives9890]

For val i never physical attack just magic attack and same with zale hes strike move that hits all targets is so good for garl just hp and defense for some reason if they're are more then 2 they just gang up him for the assassin pure magic attack and mp her back stab is so good for single target always disorient the full health targets when ever your looking to to take the ones almost dead and venom flurry helps eliminate almost dead targets but you can only control the first one just got the mage i just physical attack and the first skill that clumps them together

[@bulat9331]

I followed a priority system that was basically like Zale: Magic if available > MP if no magic > HP if neither (just cause its a more general defensive option rather than having to bother with defense and magic defense which will only affect being hit by a specific damage type. Valere: Physical Attack > MP > HP Garl: Physical Attack > MP > HP Serai: Physical Attack > MP > HP I heard that you only get 5~ or so upgrades of each stat but I have yet to max one out at 13 (I think) and if I was to do it differently, I think I would prioritise MP over offensive stats on everyone cause if it means that you could get 2 casts off of their best skill before needing to build mp back it seems more impactful, but I do like damage.

[@Dustman1028]

Yea I feel like I did something similar. I hardly put anything on Defensive stats but focused on PA, MP and HP.

[@mrstornet13]

I have a question, I have been watching several discussions about moonerang scaling, and after seeing several tests they say that it scales with magical attack since they have tested the difference in damage with physical and magical attack rings, and with physical ones it does not change the damage, and with magic rings increases the damage

[@khatack]

How does defense work exactly? Does it grant some sort of derived percentage reduction in damage or does the game just subtract the defending characters defense from the incoming damage to calculate damage taken? In the latter case, defense becomes more powerful the more you invest in it. A defense increase of 1 for a character that has 0 defense against 10 incoming damage is a total 10% reduction in damage taken as 10 minus 1 equals 9 points of damage taken, but if the same character has 5 defense already, the incoming damage of 10 gets reduced to 4 instead of 5, which is a 20% reduction in damage taken, and a character with 8 defense would get a whopping 50% damage reduction from a single point of defense against 10 points of incoming damage, as he or she would only take 1 damage as opposed to 2. If the game uses direct subtraction for calculating damage taken, then I'd probably just invest in defense for all characters every chance I got.

[@lordoflions529]

I went all in health on all until the heart stopped appearing then focused on others 💪

[@vansmoken4172]

I chose mp then hp. Those two are always a part of the equation. If neither magic attack for stronger healing

[@Aether_Athea]

Great video! I choose MP a lot of the time with almost every character, then sometimes I went with stats that I think they are lacking in (which idk if that ended up turning out great for a lot of the game I didn’t know what scaled with ATK or M. ATK tbh XD) I also went with HP a significant amount of times

[@Dustman1028]

Thank you! MP is probably the most important stat to increase because of the skills. I rarely did HP but never really felt I needed to.

[@justvideos6818]

B'st (Beast) (B-East).

[@realmless4193]

So I would say these characters don't need MP: 1. Garl 2. Re'Shan 3. B'st The thing is their abilities are generally too weak to need that much Mp for them. Re'shans normal is also the best normal so long as you also have magic lying around. Serai needs all the MP you can give her though because of Disorient.

[@AzureMoebius22]

Especially since for some of the bosses, you absolutely do NOT want their 'fuck you' attacks going off.

[@alexandrebrochu4265]

Went with MP for every character if that was an option. Otherwise I would pick HP. If even that wasn't an option I would pick whatever. I ended up picking like 1-2 lvl of Def/M.Def for first 3 characters, possibly Seraï too. Otherwise mainly Phys. Atk with some Mag. Atk thrown in. Seems that at one point you stop having some of the bonuses once you've selected some of them a number of time. At the end I had only 3 choices per level up for the first four characters, having no MP or HP boost in these, while still having 4 for the last two and still showing occasional MP and HP boost.

[@Alex30619]

Is there any way to reset these level statuses? I feel like I made light of this despite being at the beginning, I'm going on the adventure of saving the garl

[@Dustman1028]

No there isn’t a way to reset them that im aware of.

[@ninozz]

Will it get all 5 times upgrade on each stat choice, when max lv ?

[@Dustman1028]

So from my understanding the Max Level is 30. So you get to pick 29 bonus stats HOWEVER each stat can only get bonus level 4 - 5 times meaning by the time you hit max level you will have added bonus stats to every stat. If that makes sense.

[@ninozz]

Thank your for reply, so it just matter of time which we should choose earlier.

[@Dustman1028]

@@ninozz yea pretty much. And no problem. :)

[@thelegendaryzoltan9628]

In the end, it doesn't matter. You can only level up each stat 5 times before it stops showing up at level-ups. Also, it's pronounced like beast.

[@Wills_Smurf]

defense and magic defense are mostly useless. besides you can boost defense and in some cases magic defense with gear anyway. MP, HP and physical damage are the most important stats (in that order).

[@vergillives9890]

It only seems worth it early game because you get nothing really to help but after 2 its not needed especially when you just put on rings that double your health

[@icarlosct4596]

I think B'st is pronounced Beast because in Spanish his name is B'stYa or Bestia that means Beast

Don't skip leg day. Leveling up HP and defense is critical for everyone who isn't already a tank.

[@nesoukkefka1741]

MP is the best stat to increase overall, follow by the offensive stat, HP is nice but not crucial and the defensive stats are pretty worthless IMO. If playing an NG with Artful Gambit, I think early game it's better to raise HP to be able to survive more hit, as you start with only 3 Max HP.

[@Dustman1028]

1) I don't think anyone is struggling people just often ask whats best to level. 2) Its getting praise because Its a complete game with an amazing story, soundtrack, and combat system.

[@TwilitBeholder]

Some people aren't very good at party building/get anxiety with perma mechanics and want help. Some have never played RPGs and look for ways to make the experience easier to ease into. Some like min-maxing/getting the most value out of party members and look at what others are getting for stats to experiment. The fact that you just assume it's because are struggling (for being too dumb to figure out "such an easy game") tells me you're one of "those" gamers. 🙄

[@qwertt1461]

I guess B'st is /beast/, in Portuguese their name is Fer, maybe short for /feral/ or something

[@taciolothar3794]

Ultimate is Called Altered B'st Man... The Game Altered Beast. Edit: In portuguese Fera is one translation for Beast.
