Stat	Priority Rating
Strength	★★★★★
Magic	★☆☆☆☆
Endurance	★★★★☆
Agility	★★☆☆☆
Luck	★★★☆☆

This build maximizes Strength for powerful physical attacks, with Endurance and Luck as a secondary focus to maximize both Defense and Critical hit chance!

Recommended Archetypes For This Build

Archetype	Explanation
Warrior	Specializes in dealing heavy damage, complementing this build.
Brawler	Uses HP for attacks and benefits from boosted Strength stat, increasing both HP and damage.
Berserker	Focuses on inflicting maximum physical damage and self-buffing for stronger attacks.

Can You Respec?

No Respec Option Available

At present, Metaphor: ReFantazio does not offer any respec option, meaning players cannot reset or reallocate their stat points.

This makes it essential to carefully plan and strategize your builds according to your chosen Archetype and playstyle.

Skip Stat Point Allocation When Leveling Up

If you're unsure about your long-term build, you can save your stat points by choosing to skip allocation during level-up.

This allows you to stockpile points until you're ready to invest them strategically.
