Is stat agi good?

[Rhanos]

I'm Lv.26 and invest point in luck but I feel it not like my expectation so I decide which stat I should invest and kinda interest in agi but after play p5r it seem agi not do much in atlus game is it good in this game?

[Fuhrer]

It's... fine? I'd invest in a damage stat, personally.

[Baphled]

It depends on the kind of character you want. Agility is nice if you want to go first. It helps dodge attacks and land hits. Misses and dodges don't happen -too- often, but they can be quite impactful to a fight. It also helps with the 'Steal' ability.

One of the followers does have a high agility, so you don't have to sink a lot into this skill if you don't want to. But I wouldn't leave it as a low stat, or you might get frustrated by your attacks missing more often.

I'm gonna do you a solid and give you the actual answer that everyone who has played the game long enough already knows: AGI is 100% not worth investing in.

Even in regicide difficulty, you will rarely miss attacks, and investing in STR or MAG to kill everything faster is always better than hoping to dodge attacks. If you want some crutch dodges, just use Heismay.

[Freya Crescent]

Heismay's dodge passive on his final Archetype causes enemy turns to immediately end if they miss him. So long as you have Heismay in the team, a single dodge can stop an enemy even if they have 10 Turn Icons or more. There's an accessory that does the same but Heismay can get it passively and his AGI distro is best among the members.

Otherwise... it's just a 'nice to have' but rarely needed... unless you're using a the 100% crit 50% Hit weapons? Maybe with the passive that makes Crits not use Turn Icons those could be fun to play with.

Minmaxing damage is the meta, Agility is
More or less for meme builds where they can never hit the character, since you level up fast and the game is programmed for enemies to do damage this means sometimes enemies have naturally low AGL stats. You also can pump agility a lot faster than monsters are able to keep up.

You will do 0 damage but it trivializes enemy turns if you just pump everything into Agility and Luck, some people use it to do Support builds like in SMT Nocturne. Its weird but if the game itself is anything like Nocturne’s stats, AGL affects turn order intiation, ability to hit, and dodge along with escaping battles. LUCK sometimes affects the likelihood of the dodge, so stacking both is a semi-funny way to play. Thats how people speed run things like older SMT and Persona games.

There's an NPC you can meet in dungeons who explains the stats. I don't know what they say for Luck but the Agility description is spot on.

Its fairly accurate yeah. Sometimes they leave things out though.

The in-game explanation for LUK is:
- higher drop rate
- higher critical rate
- higher chance to land more attacks in multi-hit skills (i.e. slicer)

The game didn't mention anything about LUK being able to improve dodge rate, so I doubt it.
