There are eight different stats you can check via the Squad menu. These are HP, MP, Attack, Defense, Fire Magic, Ice Magic, Lightning Magic, and Defense Magic. There is also a Magical Defense stat, which is not displayed on screen.
The Role of Parameters
In battle, the active leader or Eidolon with the highest stats has an advantage.
What Each Stat Means
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| HP | Physical health. If it hits zero, you will die. |
| MP | Decreases when you use magic. |
| Attack | Affects the damage done by your strikes. |
| Defense | Affects the damage taken from enemy strikes. |
You can check parameters by selecting the Squad tab from the Info screen, selecting Reserves at a Relic Terminal, or prior to beginning missions.
Highlighting accessories or weapons to equip within the Armament menu will display gauges over certain stats, allowing you to compare possible stat increases and decreases.
Some Enemy Strikes Are Affected by Magical Defense
The damage when you are hit by certain enemy strikes, such as the fire attack of the Nox Suzaku, is reduced by your Magical Defense, a stat that isn’t displayed on screen. This value never changes. Enemies also have different levels of Magical Defense, and it can reduce the damage taken from certain strikes.
Levels
Members of Class Zero and Eidolons will level up and grow stronger each time they accumulate a certain amount of EXP.
Getting Hold of EXP
| Method | Who Gains It? | How Much? |
|---|---|---|
| Defeat enemies | Everyone who took part in the battle and is still alive will gain EXP the moment the enemy dies. | Varies depending on the enemy defeated |
| Do special training | Everyone (except Eidolons) | 2000-100,000 |
The maximum amount of EXP you can gain from defeating an enemy is 99,999.
Characters who have the Ring of Pulse, Glove of Lindzei, Armlet of Etro, or Amulet of Mwynn equipped cannot obtain EXP.
