Charisma

Abbreviation: CHR

Charisma is a stat that helps determine the effectiveness of:

• Bard Songs
• The success rate of a Beastmaster's Charm Job Ability
• The strength of a Dancer's Curing Waltzes and Divine Waltzes.
• It is rumored to affect a number of other Job Abilities and passive "Killer" Job Traits (e.g. Undead Killer).
• CHR increases resistance to Bard songs and Charm. (Source)
• Certain Weapon Skills (such as Dancing Edge, Shadowstitch, Primal Rend, and Mordant Rime) and certain Blue Magic (such as Bludgeon and Eyes on Me) are affected by Charisma.
• Reduces Light Maneuver burden if master CHR is higher than automaton CHR.

This stat is associated with the Light element.
