1. Introduction                                                         lun1
===============================================================================
Hi! My name is Lunion and I make this Maximum Character Stats FAQ to complete
my series of Sudeki FAQ. Enjoy it! ^-^/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 The Purpose of This FAQ                                             lun11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This FAQ gives you a total explanation of character growth rate, how to spend
your advancement point wisely, what skills are most useful to the character, as
well as using orbs to maximise stats. In short, this FAQ will show you how to
ultimately build your character stats and make the most of it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2 Overview of The FAQ                                                 lun12
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This FAQ is intended to help you build your character stats effectively. What
is listed here is the best way to manage your character. You can build your
character any way you like, and you're welcome to try it. If you happen to
follow the strategy listed in this guide, you'll end up with all-round out
character at the end of the game. Which, by the way, is considered to be the
best way of making up your party. Anyway, have fun with your character
development!

===============================================================================
2. How Do I Level Up?                                                   lun2
===============================================================================
In Sudeki, you level up by spending advancement points into the empty slots.
Every time you level up, you'll get 1 or more advancement points to spend on
your character slots. There're HP, SP, power, and essence slots. There's also
skill slots, which will grant you new skills should you decide to spend
advancement point on them. This guide will help you make the most of those
advancements points.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 What Are Orbs?                                                      lun21
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orbs are magical items that, when you use them, will raise one of your stats,
depending on what kind of orbs you used. This guide here will also tell you
how to use your orbs wisely, as there're plenty of them (a total of 40), and
they can be a real boost for weak characters. For information on the locations
of orbs, check out my Orbs Locations FAQ (also posted on GameFAQs).

===============================================================================
3. Characters Initial Status                                            lun3  
===============================================================================
The stats listed below is the initial stats of your characters. It doesn't mean
the stats of your characters when you first found them. It's the stats of your
character when you DON'T HAVE ANY advancement points allocated to them.

>> Tal
---------------------------
HP           500
SP            20
Power         10
Essence        5

>> Ailish
---------------------------
HP           300
SP            40
Power          7
Essence       10

>> Buki
---------------------------
HP           400
SP            25
Power         10
Essence        6

>> Elco
---------------------------
HP           350        
SP            50  
Power          8
Essence        5

* When you first found them, your characters will have some advancement points
  already spent on them. This depends on what level you meet them. Their levels
  will always be the same as your main character (Tal) level when you first
  meet them. It's a good idea to meet them on earlier level, so you can
  spend those advancement points yourself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 Characters Growth Rate                                              lun31
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you decide to spend an advancement point in one of your stats' slots, your
stats will go up. The catch is, your stats growth rate is not equal. Some party
members add more HP when leveled up, while some add more SP when leveled up.
This list below shows you the growth rate of each character stats.

>> Tal
--------------------------------------
HP        +500
SP        +20
Power     +10
Essence   +5

>> Ailish
--------------------------------------
HP        +300
SP        +40
Power     +7
Essence   +10

>> Buki
--------------------------------------
HP        +400
SP        +25
Power     +10
Essence   +6

>> Elco
--------------------------------------
HP        +350
SP        +50
Power     +7
Essence   +5

* You'll notice that the character growth rate is the same as their initial
  stats. This simply means that if that character has a high HP, than he will
  always have the highest HP when all stats are maxed out, and vice versa.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 Maxed Out Characters Stats                                          lun32
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can't rise one stats continuously. There's only 10 slots for each stats,
and if you have fill them out, you'll not be able to upgrade them any further.
They are MAXED OUT. You should get the idea now. Concerning characters' growth
rate and their initial stats, we can determine the maxed out stats of each
character. Here is a list of those maxed out stats:

>> Tal
----------------------------------
HP           5500
SP            220
Power         110
Essence        55

>> Ailish
----------------------------------
HP           3300
SP            440
Power          77
Essence       110

>> Buki
----------------------------------
HP           4400
SP            275
Power         110
Essence        66

>> Elco
----------------------------------
HP           3850
SP            550
Power          77
Essence        55

* Now you can see which character will have the lowest HP, SP, Power, and
  Essence when they're maxed out. Keep this in mind as this is the very purpose
  of this FAQ. To help those in needs.

===============================================================================
4. Spending Your Orbs Wisely                                            lun4
===============================================================================
So how do we help those in needs? I want to help. Tell me how. Okay, okay. We
can use the orbs we find along our journey to power up those weak characters.
And personally, I think that's the very reason of orbs existence.

There're a total of 40 orbs in the game. They range from Orb of Vigor (which
add your HP), to anything like Orb of Power (which increase your power).
This is the list of the kind of orbs we can get in the game:

Orbs of Vigor     (HP +100)       = 10
Orbs of Might     (SP +20)        = 11
Orbs of Wisdom    (Essence +10)   = 8
Orbs of Power     (Power +10)     = 8
Orbs of Sanctuary (HP +250)       = 3

From that list, we know that we'll be able to get an additional:
- 1750 HP
-  220 SP
-   80 Essence
-   80 Power

That's a lot of help for our weak characters. Now, it's obvious that it is our
job to divide those bonus fair and square for our weak characters. I'll let you
figure it out yourself, but here's some pointer:

>> Orbs of Vigor and Sanctuary
----------------------------------------
Use on Ailish and Elco only, with Ailish getting the bigger share of it.

>> Orbs of Might
----------------------------------------
Spend primarily on Tal. You can give some to Buki, although she doesn't really
need it because of her low-cost skills. Besides, Tal is going to face the final
boss alone, so Tal will make the most of those orbs. I recommend a 7:3 for Tal.

>> Orbs of Wisdom
----------------------------------------
Use sparingly on Buki and heavily on Tal. For the same reason as above. I
recommend a 6:2 for Tal.

>> Orbs of Power
----------------------------------------
Use 4 on Ailish and 4 on Elco. That should do the trick.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 Other Methods of Spending Orbs                                      lun41
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides the forementioned methods, you can try this if you're brave enough to
take the risk.

All For One
---------------------------------
Use every orbs on Tal. He will face the final boss alone, so it's maybe a good
idea to build him up considerably. Just ignore everyone. This is very risky
since your party will be fairly weak, but it does pay off in the final battle.

Specialty Boost
---------------------------------
Use orbs to empower your already strong party members. Boost their strenghts
and ignore their weakness. Make an already strong character stronger and vice
versa. For example, use Orbs of Vigor for Tal and such. This strategy will
result in an extreme party. Both extremely strong and extremely weak.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 Things You Just Don't Do With Orbs                                  lun42
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Keep them
> Use all of them on Ailish, Buki, or Elco
> Use them on "temporary" party members in the later part of the game

===============================================================================
5. Utmost Important Skills                                              lun5
===============================================================================
Below is a list of most important and useful skills that you should learn as
soon as possible, or learn them first before you learn the other skills.

Tal
-------------------------------
> Iron Warrior        = cast protect on all allies
> Blade Dance         = very useful on surrounding enemies or the final boss

Ailish
-------------------------------
> Gaze of The Wind    = cast haste on all allies
> Shadow Nexus        = revives all party members

Buki
-------------------------------
> Path of The Warrior = very useful on any enemies

Elco
-------------------------------
> Nano-Enchancement   = cast boost on all allies, super useful
> Tesla Shield        = reverse any bad status effects, very useful

===============================================================================
6. Maximum Velocity                                                     lun6
===============================================================================
Although theoretically you can maxed out every party members, technically you
can't. This is because you'll be about level 25 by the end of the game. This
mean you can't fill every stats slots, even if you want to. Well, of course, if
you're willing to waste your time leveling up, it would be a different story.
But let us be realistic. Most people beat the game below level 30, and I'm sure
that will be your case.

Below is the very important list that will tell you what to achieve first, from
the most important to the less, from the beginning to the end of the game, on
how should you spend your precious advancement points. This is the main idea
of the whole FAQ, so be sure to read it carefully.

Just like the title of this section, you'll level up very fast at the beginning
of the game, so we're going to make the most of that velocity.

How to use this list?
-You should try to achieve the list step by step, from the start to the finish.

Spend your advancement points so they achieve:

Tal
-----------------------
> 1000 HP
> 30 Power
> 2000 HP
> 50 Power
> Iron Warrior Skill
> 60 Power
> 3000 HP
> 70 Power
> Blade Dance Skill
> 4000 HP
> Maxed out your Power
> Maxed out your HP

* Tal is the strong tank of the team. The most vital stats for him are HP and
  Power, so try to maxed them out first. Along the way you should pick up Iron
  Warrior as early as possible. Near the end of the game, pick up Blade Dance.
  After that maxed out HP and Power if you haven't do so. Ignore the other
  stats. Instead, use a lot of orbs that raise SP and Essence for Tal.

Ailish
----------------------
> 80 SP 
> 21 Power
> 900 HP
> 35 Power
> 30 Essence
> 1500 HP
> 49 Power
> 50 Essence
> Gaze of The Wind Skill
> 120 SP
> Shadow Nexus
> Maxed out your Power
> Maxed out your Essence

* Ailish must have adequate SP to cast her magic, so give her some, but not too
  many. Remember the velocity rules, she won't need so many SP at the beginning
  of the game, so we better make another use for it. Raise her Power first so
  she can give some damage in battle. You don't have to think much about HP
  cause she won't need much of it (as she is hard to get hit in battle), beside
  that, we will be using Orbs of Vigor to raise her HP, so don't worry about
  it. In short, maxed out her Power and Essence, give enough HP and SP. And
  give her some Orbs of Power.

Buki
-----------------------
> 30 Power
> 2000 HP
> 50 Power
> 2400 HP
> 60 Power
> 2800 HP
> Path of The Warrior Skill
> maxed out power
> maxed out HP

* Just like Tal, you really don't have to worry about Buki's SP and Essence.
  She won't need and won't be needing much of it. Just try to maxed out Buki's
  power and HP, so she becomes deadly in battle. If you feel her SP and Essence
  inadequate, give her some orbs.

Elco
------------------------
> 21 Power
> 150 SP
> Nano-Enchancement Skill
> 49 Power
> 1400 HP
> Tesla Shield Skill
> Maxed out Power
> Maxed out HP

* Elco is a very special character. He has some great supporting skills which
  is not affected by Essence. Just give him adequate SP to cast a few Nano
  Enchancement and you're set. Forget about his SP. Raise his power everytime
  you can. He won't need much HP as he is rarely hit in battle. Get Tesla
  Shield when you can't raise his power. Other than that, try to maxed out his
  power as soon as you can. If you feel his HP inadequate, give him some orbs.
  Don't forget to give him some Orbs of Power too. And, yes. You guess right.
  Forget about raising his essence. They're useless.

===============================================================================
