Persona Stats and meanings

[Tektonik]

this is something I just started wondering after playing my third ng+ file in my attempt to complete the game... what exactly do the stats on the Persona do?
I understand the basics like Strength makes physical attacks stronger and Magic is for magical attacks... but can someone get the hard numbers and quantify what a single point in each stat really means?

Endurance refers to how much you can take an attack, and agility affects Hit and Evasion rates. Luck affects the probability of performing a critical hit, and I'm not sure about this, but I think it also affects the chance of avoid instant kill attacks like Hama and Mudo, from what I've read at least.

thanks, I figured those basic things... it also looks like agility has some effect on turn order in my experience, but I'm trying to get hard numbers if at all possible

The only stat I don't really understand is Endurance. You (the MC) gain HP/SP per level naturally, but each Persona has its own Endurance stat. So how does it calculate your actual HP? And you can switch Personas during battle but your max HP/current HP won't actually change. So what exactly does a Persona's Endurance stat do?

Strength: Affects physical damage.
Magic: Affects magical damage.
Endurance: affects received damage.
Agility: Affects turn order, hit rate, and evasion rate.
Luck: Affects the chance of Inflicting CRIT and the chance to avoid being CRIT.

Damage formula:
DMG = 5 x sqrt(ATK/EN x PWR) x MOD x HITS X RND

DMG = Damage.
ATK= Character's Strength/Magic stat.
EN = Enemy's Endurance stat.
PWR = Atk value of equipped weapon OR Pwr value of used skill.
MOD = Modifier based on the difference between character level and enemy level.
HITS= Number of hits (for physical skills).
RND = Randomness factor (0.95 ~1.05).

8 armor = 1 endurance

Hit rate and evasion formula isn’t known.

thanks, I had a rough idea about all of this, but was always curious of the hard facts and numbers... if anyone ever figures out the hit and evasion formula I'd be interested in that too... not that it matters too much since I have Firm Stance on the MC
