bit confused about max stats

[jarl]

can anyone give me a hand on this? i know that all chars have a max amount of bladdy blah, but how can you exceed this? i guess that you cannot make anything go over the chars limit with mats or a mag, what about weapons or armours though? it just suddenly strck me while i was hunting my MKB (no luck)

All characters have base stats at level 200. (what you have without the items listed next)

You can use materials, a mag, and up to 4 slot items to help reach the max base stats (all of which are higher than the base).

Weapons, Frames/Armors, Barrier/Shields will not add to the base stat, they will add to the equipped stat (the one not in parentheses "equipped stat(base stat)" is the way it's showed on the menu), allowing you to go past your max base stat, EXCEPT any MST or LCK boosts from equipment go to the base stat, not the equipped stat. That was probably made so a Hucast couldn't equip a God Hand and get 5 MST, and to stop people from getting over a 25% of critical hits.

Shifta and Deband add a % of the base stat to the equipped stat. Jellen and Zalure to the exact opposite.

HP is "maxed" when you are level 200, have used 125 HP materials, and are equipping 4 God/HP's (and a Last Survior if you are a Hunter). Using the hacked God/HP++ (it adds some 8000HP) you can still go higher though, so it is technically never maxed.

TP is "maxed" when you are level 200, have used 125 TP materials (if applicable), are at max MST (if applicable), and are using 4 God/TP's. Like before though, this is still not truly maxed; it's only the highest you can get legitly. You must hack a God/TP++ to get more (again it's about 8000).

Oh yeah, and your level maxes at 200 and the EXP also maxes at a little more than 83 million. Once you hit that, it doesn't go up any more.

ah i see. so i can i have effectively infinite atp? (if i get a good hacked enough weapon)

[Forge]

Technically yes.

If you notice the requirements for a weapon, then that number there (or in your Status screen) is the actual value that can be maxed. You'll get a yellow number when it is maxed - andriods have maxed MST at 0.

[whiteninja]

Yes, so the stat number that isn't in parantheses (the equipped item stats) can be technically infinite if you cheat right (really good hacks, or multi-equipping). Other than that the highest possible ATP would be HUcast + maxed ATP + TJS+50 + lv 81 Shifta/Deband from a 4-mag PB combo, then you could do even more damage if another person on you team had an S-Rank Zalure weapon (lv 34(?) Zalure).

yeeowch... thats gonna hurt in the morning!! zalure seems like quite a nasty special, is it always lvl 34 or just like lvl 10-34?

[Forge]

Generally it's a lot lower than 34 I think - but hacks can be limitless really. It'd be easier for a Force to cast Zalure...
