Stats used for Forsaken/Windfall/Kahlt?

[Notev52]

Im wondering, i see there are stats ofc but what im strugglin is that since i plan to pick forsaken, whats best suited stats for that style? And for others aswell, i know many are gonna ask this and wonder. Plus i dont think ive seen anything with a stat reset at all so far unless someone has some facts about it, would like to clearify it. Thanks

I have no experience so don't take my word at all, but personally I think I'd lean more towards Strength and Dexterity, as well as some Endurance for Forsaken. Since parrying lets you punish slow/preditable attacks enemies make or counterattack in general, might as well go full out with the damage you'll dish out. Right? Maybe not...

As for Kahlt, I'm pretty sure people would go for Endurance/Vitality, since he's pretty much a tank with that Absorb ability. More stamina to block longer, and vitality for more HP always helps.
This is just what I personally think I'd do, and before I even get any experience playing as well.

Edit: Oh, cool. I didn't realize they pointed out which stats the different classes specialize in.

Hmm... If the styles trailer is anything to go by, we might be able to assume what stats work best based on how the styles are described:

1. Forsaken, balanced and powerful
2. Kahlt, strong and resistant
3. Windfall, higher dexterity and will
4. Stagger, unpredictable and savage

If we go based on those descriptions, we can assume Kahlt will benefit from Strength and Vitality, and Windfall will benefit from Dexterity and Will, so since Forsaken is balanced, a combination of Strength and Dexterity would probably be used.

The only one that really confuses me on how it'd work is Stagger since I've pretty much only seen the style used against whoever I'm watching play, so I have pretty much no idea how it works. At best, I can only guess a build for it would probably be similar to Forsaken, only with more Vitality since Stagger's defensive abilities have you attacking through your opponent's attack, and I believe you take reduced damage during that time, so you'd obviously need more health to compensate.

Basically what CatPaw said.

Forsaken - "The movements of this combat style have been refined and balanced over the years to allow for great versatility.

Balanced style with a slight focus on Strength."

Kahlt - "The Kahlt Method emerged in the barren mountains of the Tear after the Downfall.

Improves mainly Strength and Vitality."

Windfall - "Originally coming from the Orate, it was refined by the Adal Empire masters, who integrated Tension arts within it, allowing for better use of Tension Shards.

Improves mainly Dexterity."

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall that Stagger has 3 "different" defensive abilities, one for the up direction, one for down, and the sides being the same thing. I think 'up' was a sort stumble/attack with super armor, "down" was an evade and kick, and sides were just side dodges? Not too sure. Also, based on your comment and I-Love-Cookies's comment, it seems they actually provide us with info on which stats the styles specialize in. Is there no info like that for stagger? D=

D: nooo...
I hope they update it once information on how to unlock Stagger style becomes easily accessible. Or, I guess they'd show that in-game when someone gets the style?

All i found is this "This odd style is unpredictable and powerful, based on Drunken Boxing. It has no special ability, and is instead characterized by a large number of moves with the Avoid property, allowing users of the style to simultaneously attack and defend" ..but i guess we know that already :D

[Notev52]

From what i've seen is that stagger style has its ability as one stated, is able to move 3 directions, stumble attack front, back is likena back leaning with a front attack kick and the side rotate with a fast punch of some sort (goes left or right direction). As for the stats i have no idea myself.

I'm relatively sure the stats are a bonus on character creation, and thus not applicable to Stagger since it isn't a starting style.

Since Forsaken is kind of a mix between Kahlt and Windfall you're gonna wanna go for both Dex and Str. In beta i played Forsaken only and had strength always above dex since my build focused more on strength attacks.
Then again you're free to build your character the way you want regardless of which style you pick in the beginning, so my best advise is to just hop in and see what kind of attacks/playstyle you like and build your stats based on that.
