Dawn of Heroes is a turn-based SRPG for the DS.
HP: You know what this is.
MP: This too.
Pdef, Mdef, Adef: Physical defense, Magical defense, Affliction defense. There are three "elements" in this game, and this number is the percentage reduction you take from them. So if an attack does 200 physical damage, against an opponent with 50% physical defense, it does 100 damage. Simple.
Equipment: I'm using storeboughts from the last town (sixth Barony). Ingame, your actual equipment will be much better than this. But since it's a random drops game, this is the only way to get consistent averages.
Note about the Mantle: It's bugged. It's supposed to add 5% Adef, but it shifts all defenses to the left one space. So it adds 5% Mdef instead. Percentages listed are for actually being in battle, not from the status screen. And to further confuse things, characters have different defenses in Multiplayer mode, although I'm not listing those here yet.
PCs have a wide variety of abilities. "Standard" is just a basic attack action that doesn't cost any resources. "Guard", "Control", "Support", "Damage" all require an action to use. The actual type doesn't generally matter in a duel, although it matters more ingame. "Passive" abilities are always on, and will trigger whenever applicable.
"Cooldown" is an amount of time before an ability can be used again. An ability with a cooldown of 3 can be used every 3 turns.
Some Abilities can prevent movement (think "Don't Move" from FFT), prevent using Abilities ("Don't Act"), or both. If I use the term "disabled", it's both. "Disarm" prevents the use of any abilities that deal physical damage, including your standard attack if physical. "Silence" prevents the use of any ability that costs MP to use.

Ice Storm (Damage, 52 MP): 48 AOE magical damage.
Frostbite (Control, cooldown 3): AOE silence.
Catalyzer (passive): At the end of every turn, gains a damage buff. Increases Valberg’s magical damage by 100%. This is permanent and up to 4 can stack.
Fortitude (passive): Enhances Valberg’s Affliction defense by 10% and Magical defense by 20% (already included).
Chill Touch (passive): When Valberg is KO’d, enemies have a 50% chance for their Control, Guardian, and Support abilities to be locked for a turn.
Comments: Catalyzer sounds good on paper, but his base damage is so low it ends up not mattering much. He can hide for 4 turns, then jump out and do… less damage than other characters can do on turn 1. Impressive defenses, but still a Light.
