Creation stats[G5]

How exactly does pumping stats affect my creations? Pumping endurance obviously boosts HP and STR obviously boosts melee damage, but which creatures have their ranged damage boosted by dexterity? All of them? Fire shaping only? Kyshakks range damage seems to be unaffected - does it count as spell damage? In that case will boosting INT affect it?

Creation stats work differently from PC stats.

 

Paraphrasing from the in-game descriptions: Strength improves the damage for all attacks. Dexterity helps the creation avoid enemy attacks and land blows of their own. Intelligence helps creations resist mental effects and gives them more spell energy. Endurance gives HP and helps with resistances.

 

Dikiyoba.

I believe pumping creation Dex will make them act sooner in combat, too. This might make Dex worthwhile, but I'm skeptical that dodging succeeds or hitting fails often enough for it to be worthwhile on those grounds.

 

In G1 pumping Terror Vlish stats gave you a truly excellent squad of blue meanies that could handle the Inner Crypt. Since then I don't think it has really paid to evolve creation stats, unless you want to keep your first Fyora named Frankie to the very end, or something like that. If that's what you want, by all means. You paid for the game, you can do whatever you like with it.

One exception: For the cheapest creations it has occasionally been useful. In G4, Cryoas were such a good value, and had a low enough essence cost, that giving them a few levels of strength could be a good deal. Likewise for Artila, if you used them.

 

In G5, every point of purchased stat for all creations has had its essence cost reduced by 1, which improves things. On the other hand there is less place for the cheaper creations in G5, since most of the expensive ones can be around for much of the game. However, Cryoas and Vlish can still benefit from the change while you use them. Clawbugs are not such good candidates because the damage scales so slowly with physical attacks.

Well considering my Fyoras actually were the same level as me when I made them and anything else I would make would end up several levels below me... yes. I never let anything die. EVER.

I had surprisingly less reloads than you might expect. And my fyoras were Lister and Sokkru. And I loved them all day. And I'll shut up now.
