Weapon Stats Explained

Weapon Attack and Stagger Explained

Weapon Stat Description
FF16 - Attack Attack
Indicates the weapon's capacity to deal damage.
FF16 - Attack Stagger
Indicates an ability's capacity to break a target's will.

Clive's weapons have two stats: Attack and Stagger. The Attack stat defines how much damage Clive can do with each basic attack, while the Stagger stat defines how quickly Clive can deplete an enemy's stagger meter. The higher these values are, the more effective Clive can be in combat.

Weapons found will only have the Attack and Stagger stats, and no HP, defense, or effect. To learn more about stats, check out this guide:
