How do things like intelligence and dexterity help my sylesties? I know what health and strength do -those are obvious-, but how do the other skills help them?

If you are on a laptop, hover your mouse over the words, and it'll give you a description.

Physical Damage: determines damage dealt by physical attacks
Magical Damage: determines damage dealt by magical attacks

Strength: increases physical damage and physical mitigation
Intelligence: increases magical damage and magical mitigation
Dexterity: increases critical hit, accuracy, and quickness
Agility: increases physical/magical mitigation, avoidance, and quickness

Physical Mitigation: reduces damage received by physical attacks
Magical Mitigation: reduces damage received by magical attacks
Critical Hit: chance of dealing 100% more damage
Accuracy: reduces chance of enemy avoiding attack
Avoidance: chance of avoiding enemy attack
Quickness: determines order of actions each turn (sometimes used to determine if attack will land on enemy/will avoid critical hit by enemy in the arena if i rmb correctly)



So basically, you choose between strength or intelligence, based on the proficiency tree you are using; dexterity helps your pet deal more damage; and agility helps your pet receive less damage.
