Five stats, twelve blends, thirty-six identities.

The five stats — universal per-100 passives

Every 100 invested in any stat grants a small bonus that ALL archetypes get. Spread builds gain a meaningful payoff from every stat slot; focus builds still hit their universal cap faster but lose flexibility.

• ATK · Attack

  cap 50%

  Outgoing physical damage; primary or secondary stat for every physical archetype.

  +3% chance for a free 50%-damage follow-up attack per 100 ATK

• DEF · Defense

  cap 20%

  Incoming damage reduction; primary on Warden's subclasses, secondary on Bulwark and Tactician.

  +1% flat damage-reduction floor per 100 DEF (guarantees mitigation even against very high attackers)

• SPD · Speed

  cap 40%

  Turn order and action speed; the secondary stat on most tempo archetypes (Striker, Assassin, Ranger, Phantom, Enchanter, Controller).

  +2% crit chance per 100 SPD (stacks with traits and runes)

• INT · Intelligence

  cap 25%

  Spell power, essence proc strength, and status duration; the primary stat for every magic archetype.

  +1% ability cooldown reduction per 100 INT

• VIT · Vitality

  cap 8%

  HP pool and survivability under burst; secondary on Guardian, Healer, Summoner and several sustain subclasses.

  +1.5% HP regen per turn per 100 VIT

Archetype blends — twelve damage formulas

Each archetype's basic-attack damage reads two stats with weights summing to 1.0. The power score weights stats further — primary 1.5×, secondary 1.2×, others 0.8×.

Signature passives — the secondary stat has power

Each archetype gets a unique passive driven by its secondary stat. These make the secondary double-dip: it feeds blended damage AND triggers a per-class effect.

• Striker

  SPD

  Combo Chain

  Consecutive hits on the same target stack up to +15% per stack at high SPD.

• Guardian

  VIT

  Aegis Pulse

  Start-of-turn shield absorbs damage before HP (up to 40% of max HP).

• Caster

  ATK

  Spell-Blade

  Magic hits deal bonus physical chip damage (up to 50% of magic damage).

• Assassin

  SPD

  Killshot

  Execute threshold rises with SPD (base 30% → up to 40%).

• Healer

  VIT

  Empath Bond

  Heal output gains up to +36% from VIT investment.

• Controller

  SPD

  Tempo Strike

  SPD debuff strength scales with caster SPD (up to +50%). Now correctly INT-primary in combat, matching the affinity table.

• Summoner

  VIT

  Pact Vitality

  Summons inherit up to +100% extra HP from caster VIT.

• Shapeshifter

  ATK

  Beast Form

  Flip-to-beast HP threshold lowers with ATK — stays aggressive longer.

• Ranger

  SPD

  Volley

  Basic attack hits 2–4 targets at high SPD (50% splash).

• Warden

  DEF

  Bulwark Bash

  Counter-attack damage scales with DEF (up to +80%). Reordered from DEF-primary in earlier docs; INT now drives the damage.

• Enchanter

  SPD

  Resonant Cadence

  Buff durations extend by up to +3 actions.

• Phantom

  SPD

  Phase Heal

  Each phase restores up to 25% max HP. (The phase trigger is action-cadence, not SPD directly.)

Subclass identities — pick your path, pick your stats

Subclasses now matter for stat strategy, not just skill-tree branches. Twelve keep the parent's blend, fourteen pivot to a different secondary, and ten commit to a 3-stat blend (weights 0.55 / 0.30 / 0.15) with a unique tertiary signature passive.

Threshold unlocks — cross a line, earn a new trick

Crossing specific stat values unlocks qualitative new combat behaviors — not just bigger numbers. The Growth tab in-game tracks each member's threshold unlocks with checkmarks and progress bars.

The patch notes list 29 distinct unlocks across all archetypes; examples above cover the named breakpoints documented in the v1.3.0 changelog. The in-game Growth tab is the canonical list for any given character.
