Agility

de:AGI
Abbreviation: AGI
*A stat that is compared with an attacker's dexterity to determine the likelihood that the enemy's blow will be a critical. The higher a defender's AGI, the less likely they are to have critical hits scored against them. SE Interview concerning stats
*Agility also has a direct impact on a character's SE Interview concerning stats, and is speculated to have an impact on shield blocking, guarding, and parrying stats/activation rates, but has yet to be proven to be the case. It does affect them indirectly however, since evasion is checked before them; if you don't evade first, there is a chance for the others to activate.
*Agility plays a significant role in determining the damage caused by Trick Attack when used by a Thief.
*Agility determines the accuracy of a Corsair's Quick Draw.
*Agility affects the amount of TP given to the enemy (New in 12/6/2010 update).
Associated with the element of Wind. Many wind-based items add AGI to a Player's Stats. Example: Garuda's Dagger. The success of a Puppetmaster's Wind Maneuver is linked to AGI.
