"Stats" refers to the combative statistics of your monsters. Strength, stamina, etc.

Base Stats
Base stats are the major numbers you raise; the secondary stats are raised by these.
Stamina: Raise this to help your monster last longer in battle.

Strength: Purely for hitting the opponent harder.

Constitution: Aids defense and accounts for about 40% of HP.

Agility: Helps your monster's attacks hit, and helps them dodge better in battle. Also affects how fast your monster is.

Luck: An all-around stat that should be raised steadily along other stats. If you notice you're not gaining as much as you think you should from each stat, luck is probably why. Also governs the chance of getting and resisting a critical hit.


Secondary Stats
These are the actual stats you get from the base stats, and directly impact battle.

HP: Keeps you alive! It's a representative of how many hits you can take after your defense filters out the damage.

Attack: Your raw attack power; how much you hit for in battle before defense filters it out.

Accuracy: Well come on, you can't hit them if you have no accuracy! This helps you hit your opponent.

Defense: Okay, so you got hit. This helps soften the blow a little.

Speed: How fast your monster can hit your opponent; if they're a lot faster, they'll hit twice in the same round.

Dodge: If your monster can dodge their attacks or not! Sometimes they will get 'half hits' which means they just caught the end of your dodge, for half damage.


Combat Power

Combat power is used to decide if you're too strong to be getting SRP from mob kills anymore. It's also representative of how strong the monster is. Notes

* It's not necessarily a good idea to build on completely attack and speed, as one hit could potentially destroy you. If you want to be attack-minded, you should focus on strength, stamina, and luck.

* A good strategy is to choose 3 major stats to raise, while pretty much neglecting the others. Have one of those stats be the higher of the 3. Another (in this author's opinion, the best) good one is complete balance, which MonBre, unlike many games, actually supports.
