Some basic info about stats, statues effects, and weapons.

[Nano1124]

Got this from the game manuel and thought this information would be useful to new people. The game does really explain this well but I hope this clears stuff up.

 

Here's a link to the game manuel.

 

Here's a really good FAQ from Activistion.

 

Below is a list of each TECHNICAL DATA stat and which part of your STATUS values it affects:

 

• STR affects Health

 

• INT affects ranged attack power

 

• SPD affects attack power in vehicle mode, and the power of Rush Attacks, Vehicle Attacks, and Reversals

 

• END affects defense

 

• RNK affects max number of allowed T.E.C.H. slots

 

• CRG affects defense and ultimate attack power

 

• FRB affects melee attack power

 

• SKL affects ranged attack power

 

STATUS EFFECTS

There are a variety of status effects in the game, and some weapons have a chance to apply status effects to enemies, while others are only applied to the autobots or enemies. The full list of status effects is shown below:

 

Burn - Temporarily take gradual damage

 

Shock - Temporarily become unable to move or attack

 

Freeze - Temporarily become unable to move or attack

 

Stuck - Temporarily become unable to move or attack

 

Slow - Temporarily move much more slowly than usual

 

Rust - Defense lowered temporarily

 

Confuse - Enemies temporarily attack other enemies

 

Weak - Attack power lowered temporarily

 

Stun - Temporarily become unable to move or attack

 

Transfix - Temporarily unable to change form

 

Confuse - Enemies temporarily attack other enemies

 

WEAPONS

• There are a total of four weapon slots – one can only contain a melee weapon, one can only contain a ranged weapon, and the other two are “free” slots that can contain either. 

 

• There are two key types of melee weapons – Physical-based weapons and Energon-based weapons.

 

• Physical-based weapons have a base attack stat and depending on the weapon, an element-based attack stat.

 

• Energon-based weapons have a third “Energon” attack stat, which causes the weapon to apply extra damage when the weapon has energy. Weapon energy depletes when you attack, and when you run out you no longer inflict the additional damage from your energon attack stat.

Way too many RPG elements for a game like this. They are quite intrusive. Makes rank-running really dumb.

 

Tried to help someone beat the game with an SS grade but the poor guy leveled all of his autobots to 99 in all stats lol. Made it way harder on himself.

Does your stats level scale up the difficulty of the enemies or something? You kill enemies too fast and can't get SS grade?

I think that may be the case, simply beating every level quickly without damage won't get you an SS in some cases, you need to do a few extra maneuvers to get bonus points to increase your score to the SS level. I only just started playing this game a week or two ago, so there may be more to it.

Your stats do not scale with anything. But once you beat higher difficulties, your level caps are raised. 

 

The problem is with Commander or higher, having immaculate performance (no damage and the time bonus) almost always isn't enough to hit the quota of points needed for an SS grade. Leveling up your Autobots is not something that you want to do.

This is correct. You are mostly graded on actions.
