Stats 📀

★ Strength (STR) [Optional]
▷ 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].
STR also helps with Shield Chain damage if you're using that build variation.

★ Agility (AGI) [Optional]
▷ 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.
AGI also helps reduce the duration of movement-impairing effects in PvP/WoE.

★ Vitality (VIT) [Essential]
▷ 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.
VIT provides resistance against Crystallization, Freezing, and other status effects in PvP/WoE.

★ Intelligence (INT) [Essential]
▷ Primarily useful for SP management and magic defense. [90-100 INT] is sufficient for most tank builds to maintain SP and for Prestige.
INT helps reduce the duration of mental status effects like Sleep and Confusion.

★ Dexterity (DEX) [Optional]
▷ Important for insta-cast via stats. Pure tanks can manage with [70-90 DEX].
DEX also helps reduce the duration of some status effects like Crystallization.

★ Luck (LUK) [Essential]
▷ 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.
