player attack stat

[Lost Question]

for those wondering about the attack stat and why its a 2 point increase.
long story short the player attack stat is not a flat number like your HP but rather a percent modifier for your damage calculation so your start stat of 100 should read to you 100%

so its still 2%, yeah?

[Lost Question]

the math is roughly
(weapon damage X attack value) / target defence = base potential X variance formula (of +/-10%-15%) = damage dealt
at an equal level the higher your level compared to your target will add a multiplyer of upto X5 on damage dealt
while a higher level target will take up to 80% less of the damage dealt
alpha pals also have a boss protection added on (i think lucky pals also have a very much lesser version of this but no clue)
and that is not counting vanguard pals (for one vanguard its your attack value X 10%) and attack pendant adding (+5%,10%, or 15% based on rarity)

so in short attack in the early game is not that worth as it makes more a difference late game when you have (preferably legendary) weapons that deal far more damage

shoutout to
Krush SG who bothered getting the math for the calculation

Yeah, attack can be pretty good later in the game.

At that point you can get your HP from armor pieces, and stamina / weight/ work speed can be somewhat substituted by your pals.

Lets say you put 25 levels worth of points into your attack => that means all your player attacks deal 50% more damage.

The savings in regards to high tier ammo alone can be worth it.

And yes, we are able to to craft a concoction that lets us re-destribute our points after level 43.

it's much more than that, it's really complicated, search for "Attack is NOT a useless stat on Players Palworld" if you want to wreck your mind.

But basically multiplier is calculated in real time based on 10 different factors, so that 2% can mean either 10 damage (bow) more for each attack and up to 2000 damage (rocket launcher) or something.

Don't underestimate attack, when you combine that with a legendary weapons like a shotgun a few points can become thousands of damage extra saving you tons on ammo.
