I was researching the max stats for my HUnewearl and trying to figure out how to best optimize her for myself, and I kept coming across a set upgrades to use to increase her stats to "Max".
Materials - Materials are applied directly to the character.
Mag - Mags are equipped and can be changed out.
Slot Items - Can also be equipped and changed out.
My understanding from various guides is that these 3 increase paths can boost my attack, accuracy, defense, evasion. luck, and mental strength to their "maximum" value.
However, things like barriers, frames, and weapons also increase my stats in some of those same areas.
My question is, which equippable items are applied towards a character's "maximum" values and can only boost up to that limit, and which equippable items have stats that are applied on top of those maximums and can pass the maximums?
Thanks in advance.
