Attributes | Introduction DB: Xenoverse Guide

Attribute distribution screen

Each warrior has his own specific abilities, you'll notice that some characters are easier to play with than others. This situation is affected by two factors: distribution (and number) of attribute points and techniques. In this chapter, we'll focus solely on the attributes.

Each race and gender has its own unique base attributes, adjusted for specific styles of playing. That's why selecting the most suitable race is so important. When you gain experience and attribute points, you can "retrain" the character, but he/she won't be as effective if the base points are not developed. In each new level you'll get three attribute points. The characters are defined by six attributes:

BLA - Blast Strike - how the character handles using Ki Blasts - energy projectiles.

STR - Strike - the techniques that consume Ki as well, but usually they are just combos.

ATK - base attack - damage done with regular hits, weak or strong.

STM - Stamina, marked with the green bar. It is used for defence - when you keep your guard up, enemy attacks affect the stamina bar instead of the health bar. It regenerates over time. You'll also use it during a boost (fast flying), teleportation, or when you use a certain kind of defensive techniques, which use 300 (three bars) stamina points.

KI - your Ki energy level. It is used for both regular and ultimate abilities. Some races regenerate their Ki automatically, by default you'll get it by damaging the enemies. You can also buy skills that will let you recharge it more quickly.

HEA - health points. Regardless of your character's race, keep upgrading this attribute.

The attributes can be easily divided into two groups: if you prefer fighting at close range, upgrade ATK, STM and STR. If you like keeping a distance and using Ki Blasts: KI, BLA, maybe some ATK and STM. Keep upgrading HEA (for example, every three levels, spend all points on health).
