Abbreviation: DEX
A stat that is compared with an enemy's agility to determine the likelihood that a character's blow will be a critical.
Offensive
- DEX directly impacts the accuracy of melee attacks and rate of critical hits.
- For two-handed weapons: DEX increases Accuracy at a rate of 0.70 Accuracy per 1 DEX.
- Accuracy from DEX = floor( DEX * 0.70 )
- E.g. If a player has +6 DEX they will gain +4 accuracy (6 * 0.7 = 4.2, and the .2 is dropped).
- Accuracy from DEX = floor( DEX * 0.70 )
- For one-handed weapons and Hand-to-Hand: DEX increases Accuracy at a rate of 0.65 Accuracy per 1 DEX.
- Accuracy from DEX = floor (DEX * 0.65)
- For two-handed weapons: DEX increases Accuracy at a rate of 0.70 Accuracy per 1 DEX.
- As DEX is added, melee Critical Hit Rate increases.
- The amount of the increase is dependent on dDEX (see dDEX for the full table), with a maximum impact of +15% critical hit rate.
- Compared with an enemy's agility to determine the likelihood that a character's blow will be a critical. The higher an attacker's DEX, the greater their Critical Hit Rate against an opponent is.
- The amount of the increase is dependent on dDEX (see dDEX for the full table), with a maximum impact of +15% critical hit rate.
Dexterity also plays a significant role in determining the damage caused by Sneak Attack when used by a Thief.
Associated with the element of Lightning. Many thunder-based items add DEX to a Player's Stats. Example: Ramuh's Staff, Thunder Staff, Jupiter's Staff and Byakko's Haidate.
