Stats

Understanding and optimizing your adventurer's stats is crucial for survival in Loot Survivor. Each of the seven core stats plays a vital role in different aspects of gameplay, from combat effectiveness to market efficiency. Master stat allocation to create powerful builds tailored to your playstyle!

Stats Overview

Every adventurer has 7 core stats that define their capabilities:

  • Physical Stats: Strength, Dexterity, Vitality
  • Mental Stats: Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma
  • Metaphysical: Luck (special stat with unique mechanics)

Each Adventurer starts with 12 random stat points.

📈 Progression Note: You gain 1 stat point per level to allocate freely, except for Luck which can only be increased through items!

The Seven Core Stats

Physical Stats

💪 Strength (STR)

  • Effect: +10% attack damage per point
  • Formula: Damage = Base × (1 + STR/10)
  • Each point increases damage output by 10% with linear scaling and no cap
  • Works with all weapon types
  • ⚔️ Tip: 10 STR = double damage!

🏃 Dexterity (DEX)

  • Effect: Improves flee success rate
  • Formula: Success% = (DEX / Level) × 100
  • Flee success depends on DEX/Level ratio
  • Keep DEX equal to level for guaranteed escapes
  • 🏃 Tip: DEX = Level = 100% escape!

❤️ Vitality (VIT)

  • Effect: +15 HP per point (instant heal)
  • Formula: Max HP = 100 + (VIT × 15)
  • Increases maximum and current health
  • Base health is 100 HP
  • Maximum health cap: 1023 HP
  • 🛡️ Tip: VIT upgrades heal instantly!

Mental Stats

🧠 Intelligence (INT)

  • Effect: Avoids obstacle damage
  • Formula: Avoidance% = (INT / Level) × 100
  • Obstacle avoidance based on INT/Level ratio
  • Keep INT equal to level for full immunity
  • 🧠 Tip: INT = Level = No obstacle damage!

📚 Wisdom (WIS)

  • Effect: Prevents ambush penalties
  • Formula: Evasion% = (WIS / Level) × 100
  • Avoids surprise attack penalties
  • Also improves exploration rewards
  • 👁️ Tip: Avoids penalties, not the fight!

😎 Charisma (CHA)

  • Effect: Market discounts
  • Prices: -1 gold/point for items, -2 gold/point for potions (min 1 gold)
  • Example: 10 CHA = 10g off items, 20g off potions
  • Makes late-game shopping nearly free
  • 💰 Tip: High CHA = nearly free shopping!

Metaphysical Stat

🍀 Luck (LUCK)

  • The Special Stat - Cannot be upgraded with points, only through equipment!
  • Effect: Critical hit chance & better loot
  • Formula: Crit Chance = LUCK% (caps at 100)
  • Critical Damage: 2× base damage when triggered
  • Determines critical hit probability and improves item discovery
  • Get LUCK from jewelry items
  • 🎰 Tip: Stack jewelry for guaranteed crits!

⚠️ Warning: Dropping jewelry will remove LUCK stats equal to the greatness level of the item dropped!

Suffix Boosts & Item Management

🏆 Enhanced Items

Items with Greatness 15+ gain powerful suffix boosts that provide additional stat bonuses beyond base equipment stats. See the Suffix Boost Guide for complete details on all available bonuses.

⚠️ Unequipping Items with Suffix Boosts

When you unequip items with suffix boosts, most stat bonuses are immediately removed from your adventurer. However, there are two important exceptions:

  • Vitality (VIT): Remains active even when the item is in your bag

  • Charisma (CHA): Remains active even when the item is in your bag

Conclusion

Stats are the foundation of every successful adventurer in Loot Survivor. Whether you choose to be an unstoppable tank, a glass cannon dealing massive damage, or a nimble escape artist, understanding stat mechanics is key to survival. Remember: there's no single "best" build - the optimal stat distribution depends on your playstyle, the items you find, and your ability to adapt to the dungeon's challenges.

🏆 Final Thought: The best stat allocation is one that keeps you alive and progressing. When in doubt, add VIT!
