1. ☠️ Introduction: Why You Get One-Shot and the Importance of XP Distribution
- ✅ Getting one-shot in Dreadmyst is often due to insufficient fortitude.
- ✅ Correct distribution of the 500,000 total experience points from level one to the end of the game is crucial for stats, skills, and resistances.
- ⚠️ Poor XP distribution can lead to getting quickly eliminated in the late game.
- ⚠️ Resetting character stats costs 500,000 gold, which is expensive early in the game.

2. 💪 Main Attributes: Scaling of Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Willpower, and Courage
- ✅ Each character in Dreadmyst is based on five main attributes: strength, agility, intelligence, willpower, and courage.
- ✅ Each attribute scales multiple systems simultaneously, including damage, critical, sustain, resistances, and survival.
- ⚠️ Blindly stacking damage stats can lead to death.
| Atributo (por 10) | Effects |
|---|---|
| Fuerza | +5 Melee Damage, +3 Melee Skill, +3 Melee Crit, +3 Ranged Skill, +3 Ranged Crit |
| Agilidad | +5 Ranged Damage, +3 Melee Skill, +3 Melee Crit, +3 Ranged Skill, +3 Ranged Crit |
| Inteligencia | + Magic Damage (varies by spell), +3 Meditation, +3 Resistances, +3 Weapon Skill (mainly for staves and wands) |
| Voluntad | +3 Meditation, +3 Resistances (low priority for most classes) |

3. 🛡️ Fortitude: The Late Game Breaking Point and How It's Calculated
- ✅ Fortitude is calculated from all attributes.
- ✅ Approximately one attribute equals 3.31 fortitude.
- ✅ Reaching 400 fortitude reduces damage taken by approximately two-thirds.
- ⚠️ Being below 400 fortitude can lead to getting one-shot.

4. ⚔️ Armor: Cap, Scaling, and Physical Damage Reduction
- ✅ Armor reduces only physical damage.
- ✅ Armor has a cap of 300, providing 50% physical damage reduction.
- ✅ Armor scaling is linear: every 6 armor provides 1% physical damage reduction.
03:32 - 04:11
5. ✨ Resistances: Importance and How They Work
- ✅ Resistances are based on probability.
- ✅ The probability of resisting a spell is calculated by dividing the resistance value by the attacker's level.
- ✅ If a spell is resisted, it deals 50% damage and cannot crit.
- ✅ It's important to stack resistances for both PvP and PvE.
- ✅ Many late-game dungeons require high resistances, including fire and shadow.

6. 🛡️ Block: Mechanics and Calculation
- ✅ Block reduces damage by 2/3.
- ✅ Block is calculated by dividing the block value by the opponent's level.
- ✅ Example: 100 block divided by 25 (max level) equals 4% block.
04:42 - 04:53
7. 🏃 Dodge: Mechanics and Calculation
- ✅ Dodge is calculated the same way as block: value divided by the max level.
- ✅ Unlike block, dodge avoids all damage.
- ✅ Only physical attacks can be blocked and dodged.
04:54 - 05:30
8. ⚔️ Weapon Skills and Parry: Bonuses and Effectiveness
- ✅ Weapon skills include staves, maces, axes, swords, ranged weapons, and daggers.
- ✅ Weapon skill is compared to the opponent's to determine the parry chance.
- ✅ Parrying an attack reduces damage by half and prevents it from critting.
- ✅ Parrying also grants a slight damage bonus when using that weapon type.
05:31 - 06:12
9. ⚔️ Weapon Value, Melee Value, and Ranged Value
- ✅ Melee value and ranged value are the amount of damage you deal with a basic melee attack and a ranged attack, respectively.
- ✅ Weapon value only works in melee.
