Secondary abilities and traits | Basics Legend of Grimrock II Guide

Secondary Abilities

There are six more statistics in this category, which are influenced by various factors like Primary Abilities, or equipment.

Protection is the defensive potential of a hero, which reduces the final physical damage dealt to you (summary of the whole armor and all the defensive elements of your equipment).

Evasion is a chance for dodging an enemy attack (the damage is then zero). It is influenced by Dexterity and also your equipment.

Damage is a summary of all the physical damage that we deal to an enemy when performing an attack. Its value is influenced by your skills, abilities and of course your equipment. It doesn't apply to Wizards and Battle Mages (no statistic).

Accuracy is your chance for hitting a target, which is increased by equipment elements and Dexterity. It also doesn't apply to Wizards and Mages (no statistic).

Critical is your chance for hitting a target critically when using a weapon, described in percentage. Just like the two above abilities, it doesn't apply to Wizards and Mages.

Max Load is the maximum load that a hero can carry - when exceeded by only one character, it will cause the whole team to be slowed down (yellow mark) or even prevent it from moving (red mark).
