Stats

Overview

Stats are numerical values that affect how your character performs in FT.

The four main Attributes are:

• STR – offensive pressure and skill / item damage bonus
• STA – damage reduction and survivability
• DEX – movement, responsiveness and projectile behavior
• WIL – ball damage and ball-focused gameplay

Each level gives 1 Attribute point that can be assigned to STR, STA, DEX or WIL.

Stats can also come from equipment, enchantments and temporary item effects.

This page focuses on what the stats do, which formulas matter, and how they affect build decisions.

For Quick Slot items and Buff Items, see Items.

For gameplay effects such as Fireball, Meteor or Healing, see Skills.

For equipment improvement, see Enchantment.

Attribute Overview

Attribute	Main role	Good for	Beginner note
STR	Damage and offensive pressure	Skill / item damage setups, attack pressure, ball speed pressure	Good for simple damage-focused builds
STA	Defense and survivability	Taking less damage, surviving longer	Useful, but usually not the first beginner focus
DEX	Movement and projectile behavior	Mobility, responsiveness, Meteor variants / Homing Soul shot count	Very useful for beginners, especially around 60 DEX
WIL	Ball damage and ball behavior	Ball damage, curve, spin-focused setups	Stronger for specialized ball-focused builds

STR

STR is mainly useful for offensive pressure and skill / item damage.

It increases the damage bonus used by skill or item damage calculations.

Formula

DamageBonus = floor(STR × 0.35)

Examples

STR	Damage bonus
20	7
40	14
60	21
100	35

Beginner note: STR is simple and useful for damage-focused Guardian builds, especially when combined with DEX.

STA

STA is mainly useful for survivability.

It reduces incoming damage and supports defensive builds.

Formula

DamageReduction = floor(STA × 0.30)

Examples

STA	Damage reduction
20	6
40	12
60	18
100	30

Beginner note: STA helps you survive, but most beginners usually get more early value from a simple STR / DEX damage setup.

DEX

DEX is useful for movement, responsiveness and some projectile-based effects.

It is one of the most beginner-friendly Attributes because it helps with general gameplay and certain damage setups.

Projectile Shot Count

Some projectile-based effects can gain additional shots at specific DEX values.

This applies to effects such as:

• Meteor variants
• Homing Soul

DEX	Additional shots
0–29	+0
30–39	+1
40–49	+2
50–59	+3
60+	+4

Beginner note: This is why around 60 DEX is often recommended for simple damage-focused builds.

Important: DEX does not increase the projectile count of every skill effect. It only applies to specific projectile-based effects.

WIL

WIL is mainly useful for ball damage and ball-focused gameplay.

It affects ball damage and is especially relevant in ball-pressure or Guardian damage setups.

Ball Damage Formula

TotalBallDamage = max(20, 10 + floor(WIL × 0.52))

Equivalent form:

TotalBallDamage = max(20, 10 + floor(WIL × 13 / 25))

Note: 20 is the minimum value, not the base value.

Examples

WIL	Ball damage
0	20
30	25
60	41
100	62
135	80
160	93

Guardian WIL Damage

In Guardian Mode, WIL can add extra ball damage based on the Guardian's maximum health.

Extra Guardian Ball Damage = 0.0001 × WIL × Guardian maximum health

Beginner note: WIL can be useful, but WIL-focused builds are usually more specialized than STR / DEX damage builds.

HP

HP is a survivability value.

Player HP increases with level.

HP = 200 + 5 × (Level - 1)

Level	HP
1	200
10	245
20	295
30	345
40	395
50	445

Additional HP can also come from equipment or other effects.

Secondary Stats

Secondary Stats are bonuses that are not STR, STA, DEX or WIL.

They can come from equipment, items, buffs or other systems.

Common examples:

Secondary Stat	What it affects
Move Speed	Character movement speed
Chargeshot Speed	Speed of charged shots
Ball Speed	How fast the ball travels
Ball Damage	Damage caused by the ball
Ball Spin	Spin / ball behavior
HP	Survivability

Important: Secondary Stats can be related to Attributes, but they are not the same thing.

Examples:

• DEX is an Attribute.
• Chargeshot Speed is a Secondary Stat / item effect.
• Frenzy can increase Chargeshot Speed as an item effect.
• WIL affects ball damage, while Power Strike is an item effect that can increase ball damage.
• STR is related to damage calculations, while Item Bash is a Buff Item that increases item damage.

Beginner Build Notes

New players do not need a perfect build immediately.

A simple beginner-friendly direction is:

around 60 DEX → remaining points into STR

This works well because:

• DEX helps with movement and projectile behavior.
• 60 DEX is an important breakpoint for certain projectile effects.
• STR supports simple damage-focused gameplay.
• The build is easier to understand than specialized WIL / STA setups.
• Guardian rooms usually still need damage dealers.

WIL / STA builds can be useful, but they are usually more specialized and more dependent on team setup.

Mode Relevance

Stats can matter differently depending on the game mode.

Attribute	Basic Mode	Battle Mode	Guardian Mode
STR	Ball speed and offensive pressure	Skill / item damage bonus and ball speed pressure	Damage-focused progression and offensive pressure
STA	Lower direct value compared to Battle / Guardian	Damage reduction and survival	Damage reduction and survival
DEX	Movement, turning and responsiveness	Movement, projectile behavior and charge-related gameplay	Movement, projectile setups and charge-related gameplay
WIL	Ball behavior, curve and ball pressure	Ball damage, ball pressure and curve-based play	Guardian ball damage and ball-focused setups

Basic Mode

In Basic Mode, stats mostly affect ball behavior, movement and timing.

• STR supports ball speed and offensive pressure.
• DEX supports movement, turning and responsiveness.
• WIL supports ball behavior, curve and ball pressure.
• STA has less direct value than in Battle or Guardian content, because Basic Mode is less focused on damage trading.

Battle Mode

Battle Mode uses more stat, item and skill interactions.

• STR supports skill / item damage bonus and offensive pressure.
• STA supports damage reduction and survival.
• DEX supports movement, projectile setups and charge-related gameplay.
• WIL supports ball damage, ball pressure and curve-based play.

Quick Slot items and Buff Items can affect similar gameplay areas.

Examples:

• Item Bash supports item damage setups.
• Blessed Aim supports projectile setups.
• Defensive Auras supports survivability setups.
• Power Strike supports ball-damage setups.

Guardian Mode

Guardian Mode uses dedicated scenario and combat systems.

Stats can still be very relevant:

• STR supports damage-focused progression and offensive pressure.
• STA supports survivability and damage reduction.
• DEX supports movement and projectile-based setups.
• WIL supports Guardian ball damage and ball-focused setups.

A common beginner-friendly Guardian direction is:

around 60 DEX → remaining points into STR

This works well because DEX helps with movement and projectile-based effects, while STR supports straightforward damage-focused gameplay.

Common Confusions

Confusion	Better explanation
Fireball, Meteor or Blizzard are stats	They are gameplay effects triggered through items
Quick Slot items are Attributes	Attributes are only STR, STA, DEX and WIL
Chargeshot Speed is the same as DEX	Chargeshot Speed is a Secondary Stat / item effect
DEX increases every projectile effect	DEX affects shot count only for specific projectile effects
WIL should be called WIS on the wiki	Use WIL for player-facing wiki text
