IV. Combat Attributes
In Dragonheir: Silent Gods, the combat attributes of your Heroes mainly include:
HP: The amount of damage a Hero can take before they are defeated.
ATK: This directly affects the damage output of most Heroes.
DEF: This affects the amount of incoming damage reduced for a Hero. The higher the DEF, the more damage is reduced.
ATK Interval: The amount of time between two attacks by the same Hero.
Skill Haste: This allows you to use the battle skills and ultimate skills of your Heroes faster.
Crit Rate: This is how likely your Hero can land a critical hit when attacking. A critical hit deals a lot more damage.
Crit Damage: This is the amount of extra damage dealt by a critical hit.
Enlightenment: This affects the Derivative Damage or contributes to the intensity of some skills.
*Derivative Damage: This is the Derivative effect generated by a specific skill. Gains an Enlightenment bonus, but cannot trigger critical hit.
Accuracy: This increases the chance of how likely your Heroes can inflict debuffs and Control effects on enemies or remove their buffs.
Resistance: This reduces the chance of how likely enemies can inflict debuffs and Control effects on your Heroes or remove their buffs.
*When an attacker has more Accuracy than the Resistance of their target, the attack is more likely to register. If the target's Resistance is higher than the attacker's Accuracy by at least 80. the attack is more likely to be resisted.
Among them, HP, ATK, and DEF will scale as your Hero levels up, while the other attributes can only be improved with the help of Improvement, equipment/Runes/Artifacts, Elemental Affinities, and Food.
V. Hero Rarities
Heroes can be categorized by their rarities into Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. A Hero of a higher rarity will often have better attributes and stronger powers, but they are also more difficult to come by. Among them, Legendary Heroes even have a unique Inspiration mechanic, which means the ceiling for the development of such Heroes is higher.
Of course, a strong Hero can only do so much because it is all about how great the entire team is in different modes and phases. Dragonheir: Silent Gods is a strategy game that focuses on builds and synergies. Deploying high-quality Heroes without paying attention to how well they can work together will often lead to a disadvantage in combat!
