<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Stats_2" style="font-size: 1.6rem;">Stats 📀</span></h3>

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Strength (STR)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Your primary stat for both defensive and offensive capabilities. Each point increases weight capacity and physical attack power. Higher STR allows you to wear heavier shields and armor while maintaining good damage reflection. For optimal performance, aim for [40+ STR].<br>

STR also helps with Shield Chain damage if you're using that build variation.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Agility (AGI)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Provides ASPD and Flee bonuses, with every 5 points granting 1 SoftDEF. For tank builds, [60-90 AGI] is sufficient since the focus is on damage absorption rather than evasion.<br>

AGI also helps reduce the duration of movement-impairing effects in PvP/WoE.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Vitality (VIT)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Your core tanking stat that increases Max HP by 1% per point and enhances defense. Imperial Guards have excellent HP modifiers, making VIT extremely effective. Aim for [120+ VIT] for maximum survivability.<br>

VIT provides resistance against Crystallization, Freezing, and other status effects in PvP/WoE.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Intelligence (INT)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Primarily useful for SP management and magic defense. [90-100 INT] is sufficient for most tank builds to maintain SP and for Prestige.<br>

INT helps reduce the duration of mental status effects like Sleep and Confusion.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Dexterity (DEX)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Important for insta-cast via stats. Pure tanks can manage with [70-90 DEX].<br>

DEX also helps reduce the duration of some status effects like Crystallization.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Luck (LUK)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Contributes to perfect defense chance and provides critical resistance. [90-100 LUK] is sufficient for most builds, though most players would like 100% magic dodge chance. Can also help with status resistance in PvP situations.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.6rem;">Traits 💿</span></h3>

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Power (POW)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Primary trait stat that increases physical attack. again not useful, unless you went for physical build tank.<br>

Status physical attack increases by 5 per point.<br>

P.ATK increases by 1 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Stamina (STA)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Core defensive trait that directly increases physical resistance (RES). Very Crucial for tank builds.<br>

RES increases by 1 per point.<br>

RES increases by 5 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Wisdom (WIS)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Provides magic resistance (MRES), crucial for overall survivability against magic damage.<br>

MRES increases by 1 per point.<br>

MRES increases by 5 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Spell (SPL)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Not a primary focus stat. Only invest if using magic-based skills.<br>

Status Magic Attack increases by 5 per point.<br>

S.MATK increases by 1 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Concentration (CON)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Only if you are going for Flee Tanking, which i do not reccommend, but it is an option.<br>

HIT and FLEE increase by 2 per point.<br>

Additional defensive bonuses every 5 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Creative (CRT)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Optional for higher healing numbers<br>

H.PLUS increases by 1 per point.<br>

C.RATE increases by 1 per 3 points.

I'll make your life easier by giving the requirements that you need for this built-in {{#Item:4128}}, the prestige!<br>

</div>

⚠️Beware of Dispells though, they can instantly remove your prestige <br>

{{#skillDesc:2318}}

'''<p style="font-size: 1.4em;">Skill Effects</p>

* '''Increases DEF''' based on character level and skill level.   

* '''Chance to completely dodge magic attacks''' using a formula based on '''INT (Intelligence) and LUK (Luck)'''.

</div>  

<h3 style="font-size: 1.7em; color: #8c8cd9;">Skill Formulas 📋</h3>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.4em;">Magic Dodge Chance Formula</p>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.4em;">DEF Bonus Formula</p>

The result is then '''multiplied by''' (Base Level / 100).

'''<p style="font-size: 1.4em;">Skill Duration Per Level</p>

</div>

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level

| '''Lv 1''' || 30 seconds  

| '''Lv 2''' || 45 seconds  

| '''Lv 3''' || 60 seconds  

| '''Lv 4''' || 75 seconds  

| '''Lv 5''' || 90 seconds  

<h3 style="font-size: 1.7em; color: #8c8cd9;">INT + LUK Requirements 📈</h3>

</div>

To achieve a full '''100% magic dodge''' using the Prestige skill, you need to meet the required '''(INT + LUK)''' values based on your '''Base Level''' and '''Skill Level'''.

</div>  

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Base Level

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level 1

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level 2

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level 3

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level 4

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level 5

<h3 style="font-size: 1.7em; color: #8c8cd9;">INT & LUK Distribution 📊</h3>

You can distribute your '''INT and LUK''' in different ways to meet the required total. Below are some possible '''equal and skewed distributions'''.

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Base Level

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Skill Level

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Total (INT + LUK) Needed

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | Even Split

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | High INT

! style="background-color: #cdddff;" | High LUK

<h3 style="font-size: 1.7em; color: #8c8cd9;">How to Use This Table 📝</h3>

</div>

1️⃣ Find your Base Level <br>

2️⃣ See the required total (INT + LUK) <br>

3️⃣ Choose a stat distribution <br>

✅ Even Split (Balanced INT & LUK) <br>

✅ High INT (More Magic Defense, SP, Resistance to some Statuses) <br>

✅ High LUK (More Flee, Perfect Dodge, Slight Resistance to most Statuses) <br>

</div>

'''Example:'''

If you're Base Level 275, you need 138 total INT + LUK. <br>

You can achieve this with: <br>

📌 69 INT & 69 LUK (balanced) <br>

📌 88 INT & 50 LUK (INT-focused) <br>

📌 50 INT & 88 LUK (LUK-focused) <br>

<p><i>Did you know the more mobs you get the weaker you get?</i></p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Magic_Defense" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Soft Defense 🔰</span></h3>

   <li>Reduces incoming physical damage directly through subtraction.</li>

   <li>also known as "VIT" defense, reduces incoming physical damage directly.</li>

   <li><b>BonusA</b> is the sum of additive bonuses.</li>

   <li><b>BonusB</b> is the sum of multiplicative bonuses.</li>

   <li>Monsters use a different SoftDEF formula.</li>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Magic_Defense" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Hard Defense 🔰</span></h3>

   <li>Reduces incoming physical damage multiplicatively.</li>  

   <li><b>Damage after Hard DEF</b> = <code>Damage × [(4000 + HardDEF) ÷ (4000 + HardDEF × 10)]</code></li>

   <li>Is applied to damage calculations first, before Soft DEF.</li>

'''Here's a different example of how Hard DEF works:'''

<li>Let's say a monster deals 1000 base damage:</li>

<li> ⚔️ With 200 Hard DEF: Damage is reduced to around 714 damage</li>

<li> ⚔️ With 400 Hard DEF: Damage is reduced to around 526 damage</li>

<li> ⚔️ With 600 Hard DEF: Damage is reduced to around 411 damage</li>

</div>

Keep in mind that your defense gets weaker when mobbed:</li>

<li> Fighting 3 monsters: -5% DEF</li>

<li> Fighting 4 monsters: -10% DEF </li>

<li> And so on until you hit 0 defense</li>

</div>

Your Hard DEF starts at 0 and you can increase it through:</li>

<li> Equipment</li>

<li> Cards</li>

<li> Buffs and skills</li>

<li> Consumable items</li>

</div>

   <li>Soft magic defense, also known as "INT" magic defense, reduces incoming magic damage directly.</li>

   <li><b>BonusA</b> is the sum of additive bonuses.</li>

   <li><b>BonusB</b> is the sum of multiplicative bonuses.</li>

   <li>Monsters use a different SoftMDEF formula.</li>

   <li>Hard magic defense, also known as "armor" or "equipment" magic defense, reduces incoming magic damage multiplicatively.</li>

   <li>Hard magic defense has a base value of 0, and is increased by equipment, some skills, and items.</li>

   <li><b>Damage after Hard MDEF</b> = <code>Damage × [(1000 + HardMDEF) ÷ (1000 + HardMDEF × 10)]</code></li>

⚠️ This indicates that as Hard MDEF increases, the percentage of magic damage reduced also increases, but with diminishing returns. For example: </br>

</div>

🔮 20 Hard MDEF provides approximately 15% damage reduction. </br>

🔮 40 Hard MDEF provides approximately 25% damage reduction. </br>

🔮 125 Hard MDEF provides approximately 50% damage reduction. </br>

<b>(It is shown as </b><span style="color:Red;">A</span><b> + </b><span style="color:Blue;">B</span><b> in the Status Window, where </b><span style="color:Red;">A</span><b> represents the </b><span style="color:Red;">Soft Mdef</span><b> and </b><span style="color:Blue;">B</span><b> represents the </b><span style="color:Blue;">Hard Mdef</span><b>.)</b>

   <li>The Magical Defense (MDEF) system was revamped in the Renewal  

   Update. HardDEF/MDEF is no longer limited into a 1-100 point system,  

   with 100 being full immunity. Instead, the effect of HardMDEF is now

   reduced exponentially as the number goes up (i.e. the higher the number,

   the less effect every single point adds);</li>

   <li>SoftDEF/MDEF, which is mostly based on VIT and INT respectively,  

   did not go through a lot of change from Pre-Renewal. They reduce damage

   subtractively, removing flat amounts from the final damage after the

   HardDEF/MDEF reductions are applied.</li>

<b>(While introducing the 4th job trait/status seen as </b><span style="color:Green;">C</span><b> in the lower Status Window as </b><span style="color:Green;">Mres</span><b> </b>

   <li>Magic Resistance (MRES) is a defensive stat that reduces incoming magic damage multiplicatively.</li>

   <li>MRES is primarily increased through equipment, buffs, skills, and certain consumable items.</li>

   <li><b>Formula:</b> The final damage reduction is calculated as:

     Damage after MRES = Damage × [(2000 + MRES) ÷ (2000 + MRES × 5)

   <li>Similar to Hard MDEF, MRES provides significant reductions as it increases, but its effectiveness diminishes at higher values due to diminishing returns.</li>

<span style="color:Brown;">The Effectiveness amount is at <b>50%</b></span>

   <li>Physical Resistance (RES) is a defensive stat that reduces incoming Physical damage multiplicatively.</li>

   <li>RES is primarily increased through equipment, buffs, skills, and certain consumable items.</li>

   <li><b>Formula:</b> The final damage reduction is calculated as:

     Damage after RES = Damage × [(2000 + RES) ÷ (2000 + RES × 5)]

   <li>Similar to Hard DEF, RES provides significant reductions as it increases, but its effectiveness diminishes at higher values due to diminishing returns.</li>

<span style="color:Brown;">The Effectiveness amount is also at <b>50%</b></span>
