As what can be seen from the equations, all of the stats for the Elementals and High Elementals are influenced and dependent with that of the summoner's. Besides inheriting their summoner's stats, they also get additional stats based on what forms ('''Child''', '''Adolescent''', or '''Adult''') they assume as well as what kind of spirit they are. Taking into consideration the '''MDef''' equation <code>SummonerMDEF + [(SummonerINT) ÷ (5 − SummonLv)]</code>, a Level 3 <span style="color:red;">Agni</span> for example will yield higher '''MDef''' values due to having lower divisor values  as compared to Lvls. 1 or 2. Although, it's uncertain or rather I haven't confirmed with [GM] Muh what would be the value for it if it's <span style="color:#BD0F1E;">Ardor</span> for instance since technically he is already on Adult form, and 4th job High Elementals don't have a child or adolescent form. It's even more uncertain for <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span>' case since he doesn't have any 3rd job base counterpart or maybe whatever base Elemental he was summoned from that's where he'll get his benefits from. But anyway with that in mind, you would also want to build as much HP% as you could get since in the equation for '''MaxHP''' <code>(SummonerMaxHP ÷ 3)</code> , your total MaxHP is divided by 3, and the only way to mitigate that is if you build tons of MaxHP% either from equips, consumables or party buffs. It's also noticeable that our Spirits don't benefit at all in our '''total MAtk''' or '''ATK''' which explains why their magical skills and basic attacks do little to nothing against monsters.

Apart from building your own stats and improving on it, you could also benefit from party buffs or class buffs. Since remember, whatever is your stats ''<u>at the time of summoning</u>'' will be considered into the equation and will be inherited by your Spirits. One way of making this work is by having Performer slaves give you their buffs. Notable skills to use for that purpose are '''{{#skill:322}}''', {{#skill:5007}}'''Frigg's Song''', {{#skill:2431}}'''Lerad's Dew''', the Arch Bishop skill '''{{#skill:2047}}''', and your very own skill from the Sage skill tree '''{{#skill:286}}'''. Remember how I mentioned earlier that Deluge will make your spirits tankier? Well there you have it! From the EM branch, High Elementals will benefit from the passive '''{{#skill:5374}}''', which gives some flat HP and some defensive bonuses, but only High Elementals though; Elementals don't benefit from this passive. We also have our passive from the Sorcerer branch '''{{#skill:2463}}''', which acts as a final multiplier to the total MaxHP%/MaxSP% for both our Elementals and High Elementals once all the calculations are done.

As an example, let's say you have a total of 1,300,000 HP and using the equation <code>(SummonerMaxHP ÷ 3)</code>, that will be equivalent to 433,333 HP. Additionally if you have a total 196 INT and you substitute that value to the equation <code>(SummonerINT x 10)</code>, you'll get 1,960. Lastly with the equations (<code>SummonerJobLv x 20)</code>  and <code>[(SummonLv + 2) ÷ 3]</code>, it'll give us values equal to 1,200 and 1.7 (assuming a High Elemental is considered in its Adult Form, could be lower if it's in Child Form; this will need confirmation first), respectively. Multiply 1,200 with 1.7 to yield a value equivalent to 2,040. Add up the remaining value of 25,000 HP from '''Lvl. 5''' '''Elemental Spirit Mastery''' to 433,333 HP + 1960 HP + 2,040 HP. The total value 462,333 HP will then be multiplied with '''Lvl. 5''' '''Elemental Sympathy''''s 25%, to give us the High Elemental's total HP of ≈'''<u>577,916</u>'''. This could be more if you used other class buffs; my basis for the 1,300,000 HP is from my [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#High_End_Tank_Gears|high end tank gears]] and [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Shadow_Gears|tank shadow gears]].

Now for defensive stats, you could use the Performer skills '''{{#skill:309}}''', '''{{#skill:2382}}''', '''{{#skill:2351}}''', the High Priest skill '''{{#skill:361}}''', the Soul Reaper's {{#skill:2596}}'''Golem Soul''', the Arch Mage's '''{{#skill:5225}}''' when using '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:5232}}''', and the Sorcerer skill '''Lvls. 2 and 3''' <span style="color:brown;">'''{{#skill:2468}}'''</span>. We'll have a more in-depth discussion about the Sorcerer insignias in a different [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Insignia_System|section]], but in a ditch '''Lvl. 2 <span style="color:brown;">Earth Insignia</span>''' will give +'''500''' '''flat HP''' and +'''50''' '''DEF''', while '''Lvl. 3 <span style="color:brown;">Earth Insignia</span>''' will give +'''500''' '''SP''' and +'''50''' '''MDef''' while standing on its AoE. Remember, you have to apply these buffs unto your EM before you summon your spirits. It is also possible to directly apply the Assumptio skill on your summoned spirits but like any other buffs it will expire, unlike when you summon them while possessing all these buffs they will inherit all of it until they die or disappear.

Now unfortunately to say but our Spirits won't benefit at all from Race%, Size%, Element%, and Protocol% reductions. So everything that you will work on your tank gears are focused on improving '''MaxHP%''', '''Max DEF''', '''Max MDef''', and '''Max FLEE Rate'''.
