Hello guys I'm new to this game. Any status recommended? I planning to be a sniper. If not sniper then using rifle.

you can always re-spec your stat as long you have one "clean" preset saved

This. I've respec a bunch of times tuning the perfect build but for a sniper starting out I'd say a little bit everywhere save for vit which is useless.
STR will let you equip your sniper (158 str max required for end game sniper)
INT lets you use many of the bullet skills mainly armour break
AGI isnt hugely neccesary so you can put that stat as a low priority (movement, reload, recoil recovery speeds)
DEX increases your crit and weakspot dmg so snipers benefit from this mainly
LUC affects drop rates and crit chance so, again, bit useful

The stats in this game are all designed to compliment one another, so focusing on any one particular stat is a bad idea. Like other users state, you can re-adjust your stats by going into the blue terminal in your Home and selecting "Customization Data," where you then select an empty data slot and load it so that it resets all your stats back to base values. You still keep all your Customization Points and Skill Points because they're refunded back to you.


STR/DEX = Required stats to be able to wield certain weapons.
- STR increases maximum equipment load and increases damage on Photon Swords.
- DEX increases damage to weak spots and increases critical hit damage.

STR/AGI/DEX = Best damage stats to focus on with Photon Swords

DEX/LUC = Best damage stats for non-Launcher guns. While DEX increases critical hit damage and increases weak spot damage, LUC is there to make sure your critical hit rate is higher. It's not by a large amount, but having high LUC also increases the drop rates of rare, epic, and legendary gear.

INT = Required for many support skills, and reduces the cooldown of all skills the higher it's leveled. Has no complimentary stat.

VIT = Required for medical skills, and increases damage resistance and increases maximum HP. Also adds resistance to status ailments. Compliments AGI.

AGI = Required for mobility and some attack skills. Increases damage resistance (less than VIT), increases dodging and walking speed, and grants status ailment resistance (less than VIT). It also increases Bullet Circle accuracy (the game's aim assist feature).


Stats are always nice to have but the most important stats for damage and defense are Memory Chips, which all come with status bonuses and exotic effects that can make up for a weakness in your build or increase what your build is supposed to be good at.
