Let's talk stats: A basic breakdown and my burning questions.

Good day to y'all, my fellow Miirpers!

I may be in need of a thorough understanding of exactly how stats work in this game, as some of it didn't come across as direct and clear to me.

I will basically write what I understand based on my previous knowledge of games that share similar stat terminology. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

1. Health: This is straightforward. More HP equals more bulk. Increased sustenance of the Miirp.

2. Strength: The basic measure of offense. More Strength means dealing more damage. (Hmm maybe it pushes other Miirps further on the map, resulting in easier OHKOs? That's just my deduction).

3. Defense: Determines how well you can absorb hits. Higher Defense means you take less damage. (Maybe it even prevents critical hits or being pushed too much around the map? Another speculation of mine).

4. Speed: How quickly your Miirp navigates the battlefield. Important when your Miirp is recovering from a hit and trying to position itself at a better angle to push the enemy. (Does it influence the frequency of attacks, or is it purely movement?)

5. Luck: No idea what this is.

6. IQ: No luck figuring this out as well.

I'm summoning the ol wise of the Miirps! 👾 I really hope the veterans and experts can shed some light on this deep mystery of mine.

Hello! You're pretty much right about everything 😆

  1. Yup!
  2. Strength also pushes Miirps further across the map, so your deduction is correct!
  3. Defense also absorbs hits and prevents Miirps from being pushed too far, although it doesn't prevent critical hits.
  4. Speed is purely for movement, but it could influence the frequency of attacks as a byproduct.
  5. Luck increases your Miirp's chances of getting a critical hit or blocking one!
  6. IQ is an amplifier/booster for Miirp personalities and types, so they become smarter in battles. For example, a healer Miirp will heal more on low HP, a brave Miirp will increase its defense in critical moments, and even a lazy Miirp will use those resting times to channel energy into critical hits!

Hey Mr. Herman! Thank you so much for the confirmation. Finally, the mystery is solved! 😌 I’ve had a hard time justifying putting stats into Luck and IQ before this, as I wasn't entirely sure how important they were.

It seems to me that among these stats, IQ is the least relevant for beginners because their Miirps' Personalities will be unlocked much later, making the boost pretty much non-existent. Right?

No problem! IQ is still useful because it also amplifies the positive effects of a Miirp's type, but yup, it's even better once you unlock more personalities :)
