How to Increase Stats

Change Equipment

The equipment you are using directly affects your stats. Each piece of equipment may have different Equipment Effects. As you cycle through equipment, stat changes will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

Gain Affinity Bonuses

After reaching a certain level of Affinity with a Job, you will gain Affinity Bonuses that boost your stats. For the best results, stack armor with Affinity for the same Job type to unlock as many Job Affinity Bonuses as possible.

Change Jobs

Different Jobs offer different base stats, and depending on that Job's Affinity Bonuses, those changes may become even more pronounced with higher Affinity. Additionally certain passive abilities within Job Trees can boost certain attack types for that Job.

You can change Jobs from the Battle Settings Menu. Select your current job at the top left of the screen and a list of available jobs to switch to will appear in the menu.
