HP: shows a character's health. Taking damage causes it to decreases. Characters will faint if their HP reaches zero.

BP: Shows how many Bros. Points you have.These are necessary for Bros. Attacks and will diminish as you use them.

POW: Shows a character's strength. The bigger that number is, the more damage that character will deal in battle.

DEF: Shows a character's defense. The bigger that number is, the less damage that character will receive in battle.

SPEED: Shows a character's quickness. The bigger that number is, the sooner a character can act in battle.

STACHE: shows a character's lucky mustache power. A bigger number means more lucky hits and better deals when shopping.

Stat's can be influenced in different ways. Basically, you want these stats to increase in value rather than be shaved off. That however is rather tricky especially when you rely solely on the values that equipment/gear lends you. Most of the Gears you'll come across the game boosts specific stat values like POWER or HP. The rare ones however have special abilities/effects which in return, as a usual trade-off, does not come with high stat values. During the course of the game we played, we focused on the POWER of both characters as we are inclined to dealing heavy attacks to quickly win battles. Although when you reach level 20 above, bonus stat point allocated to POWER will go as low as +2 (highest) per level which makes it somewhat unappealing. Nonetheless, you may opt to allocate the bonus stat point to defense as an alternative.

You may also drink specially blended Items (from gathering different beans in the game), brewed at the Starbeans Cafe found in the Castle town. Different blends will boost different stats permanently. Check the Starbeans Cafe page in this guide to see the different types of beans in the game and how to earn them.

Lastly, and more obviously is to level-up your characters by earning experience points from fighting in the game. Boosts of stats are pre-determined per character in every level they gain.
