FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THIS IS AN ACTION RPG. YOU KNOW THE DRILL! REAL TIME FIGHTS FTW. I'd rather get concrete values, but this game's damage is too random and I'm too lazy to look into the details since it's just some random act RPG that you can beat in 5 hours... Furthermore, this game has only one character. You can do adhoc wireless (DS, roffles) with another player, however, canon purposes dictate you go solo.
HP - lose this and die
SP - lose this and you can't use hax
ATK - damage
DEF - defense against physical, affects mag. damage to some extent. Factored in HP bonus
INT - mag. damage
MEN - defense against mag. damage. Factored in SP bonus
AGI - agility doesn't really seem to do a whole lot aside from determining bow damage...
LUK - affects item drops, crit chance, etc.
status:
Poison - Deals a small amount of damage every few seconds (equated to a turn)
Curse - Deals a large amount of SP damage every few seconds (equated to a turn)
Paralysis - Target cannot move for several seconds (equated to between 2 and 5 turns)
Weak - Parameters are reduced SEVERELY, to the point where attacks deal around ~20 damage and the target takes well over ~400 damage.
Oblivious - Target cannot use skills and magic.
There are four elements:
Fire
Wind
Earth
Water
LET'S BEGIN. They are taken after defeated the final boss.
Stats are done as follows:
After levelling up, you can distribute 4 points to the states.
I personally did an ATK focused-build for maximum pwnage.
Skills? They are equipment-based, with spells being excluded from this rule.
There's only one character so I suppose all equipments are legal... But the equipments I'm using are still storebought, minus the Accessory, though I'll record with optimal storebought accessory too.

Comments: I... I really don't know. Moogyko has a lot of tricks up her sleeve considering she has access to all types of weapons and all elements. The spell damage sucks due to her ATK-based build, which in the end isn't even that impressive in itself. Sonic Trace isn't as spammable as Heavy Tomahawk is, but all things considered, Heavy Tomahawk is the gamebreaker skill. It's cheap, and it takes advantage of the axe weapon's insane ATK bonus. It's much more economic as well considering Sonic Trace costs 14 SP more than Tomahawk for doing practically the same thing except worse. Basically, with this build, the only spells Moogyko should EVER be using are Rest/Rest More, Soul Capture and Quick Motion, perhaps Disaster Crawl/Weasel Scythe depending on the circumstances. Remember, Disaster Crawl requires two turns to cast, and is more expensive than Weasel Scythe despite being marginally stronger. Moogyko's only status also happens to be Poison, which appears to be pretty useless in this game by any stretch. Just be glad Warbreaker increases INT, so Moogyko's spells don't totally fail!
