From Gourry.
Alright. I'm pulling an OK on this, and posting stats with no damage figures (^_^). I have yet to figure out the mechanics of the Vandal Hearts battle system (though I've tried. It's wonky). Tests are difficult due to the Rock/Paper/Scissors system that the game implements. Also, the fact that Ash kills everything in one hit doesn't really help. Until I figure out how to calculate damage (barring magic, which has no real problems), all I can offer are the characters' stats.
Note that magic damage is pretty shoddy compared to physical damage. Its main purpose in game (rocking half the map with Salamander) doesn't translate to a one on one duel, sadly.
Hopefully, someone besides me can figure out how physical damage works, because I have no idea. It's not straight subtraction, since the mages have less total attack power compared to the Golem's defense, yet are still able to damage them. It may be that AT is multiplied by a number and then defense is subtracted, or something.
AGL, as far as I can tell, is basically evade. For example, Ash is nearly impossible to hit from the front. It may have some impact on the damage equation, but as I said, I can't figure that out.

Here are some damage tests. The numbers in the brackets are AT, DF, and AGL, respectively. If there's only one number in the brackets, it's AT. Sometimes, I tested with weaker weapons to see how that affected the damage.
For damage, the first is the attacker, and the second is the enemy's counter.
