## Status Growth

Warrior has the highest VIT Growth Rate amongst all the Classes. Although it is not a major concern at low levels, it is recommended to increase VIT when moving towards the endgame.

**Final Status = Base Status + (Growth Rate \* Level) + Equipment Status**

The following tables show the Growth Rates for Warrior and his Base Status values per Level.

Growth Rates per Stat

#### Physical - AGI & VIT

For a high-defense Physical build, it is recommended to put your first 50 level stat points into AGI, then put your remaining points into VIT.

Although Warrior's Weapons have high ATK values and he has a high amount of STR, his accuracy is poor. To mitigate this problem, it is recommended to increase Warrior's AGI for the benefit of Hit!! counts.

* Without a high amount of AGI, most of Warrior's attacks will fumble and deal only 1 damage against enemies, indicated by *grey* damage text.
* Once you have a high enough amount of AGI, you can allocate your remaining points to other stats, such as VIT, LUC, and PIE, to name a few.
	+ By the endgame, increasing VIT is highly recommended because Warrior’s endgame gear does not increase that stat, resulting in his Health Points being generally less than Shinobi’s. Increasing this stat will aid in challenging endgame Quests, especially Ancient Gods.
* Increasing STR does not help much in the long run, so it is not recommended to increase this stat.

Hit!! Counts per Weapon

##### Physical Glass Cannon - AGI & PIE

By putting your first 50 level stat points into AGI and your remaining points into PIE, you can maintain a "glass cannon" build that deals high damage in both Physical and Holy attacks, in exchange for relatively weak or fragile defenses.

##### Recommended Elemental Contracts

Recommended Elemental Contracts
 Poison | It takes advantage of long Dragon's Rage time (15 seconds) with a +100% damage boost

#### Dragon Skill-focused - PIE & VIT

For a Dragon Skill-focused build, you can put your first 50 level stat points into PIE, then put the remaining points into VIT.

This build can be strong in the beginning, but it may be difficult to use in the midgame due to the damage scaling of Holy attacks falling off at that point (at which it is recommended to switch or temporarily switch to AGI in place of PIE). Alternatively, you can still use these stat allocations while increasing your AGI stat through the use of Accessories such as Metal Earrings and Hastan Anklet.

Furthermore, if you want to maximize your Dragon Skill damage output, you can equip an Eye Amulet and Engraved Earrings for bonus Holy damage and raw PIE increases.

##### Recommended Elemental Contracts
