* Motion Value - It can be thought of as "The Value of the Motion". Motion Value is the constant number that represents the base damage of an attack. This value is multiplied by a stat and related modifiers to determine the total amount of damage from that attack.
** For example: The Motion Value of Poison Shinobi's Dragon Kick is 34, and the calculation for Holy attacks is * Motion Value. If Shinobi's is 5, then Shinobi's Dragon Kick will most likely deal 5 * 34 = 170 damage.
* Efficiency - Also known as "DP Efficiency," it is a rating of how much damage you get for your DP. The formula is Motion Value / DP Cost.
* Magic Base - Also known as "Magic Base Value". Magic Base is a hidden constant value that is added to M.ATK. Magic Base is unique to each Class.
