For question 9 are you giving up the stat you choose? The questions kind of make it seem like that is the case.

For anyone still on the fence, I'd recommend: SKL > MAG > STR > LDR

Skill affects dodge, hit and critical rate which is useful no matter what you are doing.
Strength and Magic offer physical and magical resistances respectively. Magic becomes more powerful later, but the early strength is still formidable.
Leadership is not only a stat your character doesn't care about, but also has a soft cap of 70 anyway.

LDR isn't as useful long-term, you will be capped with 9 units pretty easily on the main character at a certain point. If this guide is true LDR answers will also handicap your base stat growth which doesnt seem great on top of that.

All three other attributes are useful IMO. INT may edge out the other two due to scaling with the Arcane traits.

So is LDR the most important stat that I should prioritize in these questions in order to get a fully optimized and/or super overpowered Main Protagonist, Hero Units, Army or what have you? Or could I just answer these questions based on my own beliefs for the sake of roleplaying as the main protagonist? What's the most important stats to get in this questionnaire?

LDR?
STR?
INT?
SKL?

Which is the best for building large armies? I want to roleplay as a great tactician/strategist.

I tried to get a Character with all SKL, but best I managed to do after 20 Tries was 4 SKL and 1 STR

Are you sure? It seemed to do when I created my char, the patch before the most recent one.

It turns out that these questions do not affect either the character’s class or his element?
jutschi78 30 Sep, 2022 @ 2:46am 
Well, there are some nice traits, thar depents on ur mage stat like arcane barrier (=bonus HP) might (bonus str) speed (bonus skl)

I am asking me, if the lrd answers are worth it? If you get only 1 point without an increase to gain more led more quickly, then the better groth rate in str/skl/int seems far better.

So does anyone know how the bonus stat growth work? (For character creation)
Is it a separate calculation than Affinity?

The later questions you get depend on the earlier answers.
