  • DEF – defense, affects the damage received by physical attacks.

  • MGS – magic strength, affects magic damage.

  • MDF – magic defense, affects the damage received by magic attacks.

  • SPD – speed, affects how fast the character moves.

  • STR, DEF, and SPD values are heavily related to your HP percentage. If you have a low hp percentage, these stats will decrease according to how much HP in percent you lost.

Elements

You have six elements, with fire being strong against wind, wind being strong against earth, earth being strong against water, water being strong against fire. These four elements form a square on the element table. The two exceptions are holy and darkness. These two elements are strong against each other. Every character, including monsters, has a base element. If they got hit by an element that they are weak against, they take more damage. If they got hit by an element that they are strong against, they take significantly less damage. If they got hit by an element that is the same as their base type, they take less damage.

Skill

Skills can deal either physical or magic damage. Each skill also has an element type that goes with it. If your character has a base element type of fire and you use a skill that has the same element type, you deal more damage. If you use a skill that has a different element type than your base element type, you deal less damage.

Weapons

  • Each character gets a unique weapon that they possess from beginning to end

  • Players can upgrade their weapons in specific locations, increasing their base stat (str or mgs).

  • Upon each upgrade, the weapon will slightly change, however, it won’t affect the physical appearance of the characters, it changes the icon of the weapon and the stat.

Clothing/Armor

  • Three types of armors: The first one has high mdf stat but no def stat, the second one has medium mdf stat and medium def stat, and the last one has high def stat but no mdf stat.

Shoes

  • All shoes give you spd stat.

Extra Items

  • Every character can equip up to two extra items. You have rings that allow you to equip common skills, which is different from the unique skill that characters have. They have special effects based on their element type. For example, a fire common skill might burn the enemy, causing them to lose hp over time. A water common skill might freeze the enemy, etc.

  • You also have other items that give you elemental damage reduction, extra dex, agl, or eva stat.

Quest

  • There will be side quests in the game where the player can accept quests and complete them in return for some reward.

  • These quests include killing x monsters, gathering x items, or talking to a specific person.
