So Im new to the game and got a few questions about the game mechanics.

First: I'd like to know what does each stat affect.  I know the basics, like STR affect physical damage, MAG affect magic damage VIT affect heal match, TEC affect shield match and apparently the turn order. But theres got to be more right? Freeze gems reduces the opponent TEC by a lot but it doesnt seem to affect their shield match and the turn order is already decided mid battle. Also there is a huge gap where TEC and VIT dont affect their respective matchs and without anymore info on what those stats do it feels a waste to use equipments with them.

Second: do Critical and Weakness stack? This is for a build Im planning on using, but it is also good to have this info out there for everyone.

And then finally I would like to ask and request about plans to add help windows to the game. Like a window pop up with information about a mechanic when you hover your mouse (or hold your finger in case of android) over it. Like what we have on the gems in battle but outside battle. It is kinda a hassle to brainstorm builds when you need to learn (or buy) a skill, equip it, go into a dungeon find a battle, charge your skill to use it just so you can actually know what the enchantment does and which base gem it goes into.

1. TEC affects Shield gems but in a way that is different from other stats. It is based on TEC advantage, which is determined by the difference between you and your opponent’s TEC. The higher the gap, the higher the level of TEC advantage, and it will grant you a higher Guard Gauge gain, or more damage to the opponent’s Guard Gauge. Some skills also scale by VIT or TEC.

2. They do stack on top of each other.

3. We would like to, but it’s not our top priority right now as we want to finish the game first. We might update and add this later as a QoL update. There’s a plan to add a Help menu that gives you info on basic gem enchantments as well.
