Your characters each have nine character stats:
- Hit Points (HP)
- Strength (Str)
- Vitality (Vit)
- Magic (Mag)
- Spirit (Spr)
- Speed (Spd)
- Evade (Eva)
- Hit
- Luck
Each time your characters level up, they gain more of these stats, and if you have any of the Guardian Force Stat Bonus abilities equipped, such as HP Bonus, Str Bonus, etc., they will gain even more of these stats as they level. So what do these stats do?
| Character Stat | Description | Related Abilities and Items |
|---|---|---|
| Hit Points (HP) | HP represents the life force of a character. Once a character’s HP reaches zero they are knocked out (KO’d) in battle and will need to be revived using a Phoenix Down, Full Life, Revive, etc. |  HP-J HP Bonus HP Up |
| Strength (Str) | The value of Strength determines the degree of damage caused by a physical attack. The higher the Strength, the greater the damage to the enemy. Note, though, that equipping a magical element to Elem-Atk-J will also have a heavy impact on the amount of damage done. | Str-JStr BonusStr Up |
| Vitality (Vit) | The value of Vitality determines the degree of damage a character can endure from a physical attack, similar to a Defense-type statistic. A character with high Vitality suffers less damage from physical attacks. | Vit-JVit BonusVit Up |
| Magic (Mag) | The value of Magic determines the degree of damage caused by a magic attack. Higher Magic causes more magical damage. The chance of successfully casting Magic that causes status abnormalities becomes higher if your magic level is high. A high Magic level also allows you to restore more HP with healing magic like Cure. | Mag-JMag BonusMag Up |
| Spirit (Spr) | The value of Spirit determines the degree of damage a character can endure from a magic attack. A character with high Spirit suffers less damage from magic attacks. | Spr-JSpr BonusSpr Up |
| Speed (Spd) | The value of Speed determines the speed of the character’s ATB meter. It takes the character a shorter time to act if this value is high. | Spd-JSpd Up |
| Evade (Eva) | The value of Evade determines the character’s ability to dodge physical attacks. Characters that have high Evade can dodge physical attacks more easily. | Eva-J |
| Hit | The value for Hit determines the accuracy of a physical attack. Accuracy increases as the Hit level increases. However, your target’s evade level can affect the accuracy of a physical attack. | Hit-J |
| Luck | Luck affects numerous actions of the character in the game. For example, having a higher value for Luck is an advantage during battle. | Luck-J |
