Unraveling the Secrets of Fate/Samurai Remnant: Mastering the Stats

In Fate/Samurai Remnant, Miyamoto Iori navigates the challenges that arise after becoming a Master in the "Waxing Moon Ritual." Teaming up with a enigmatic Heroic Spirit of the Saber class, he must confront six other Master and Servant pairs to emerge victorious in the Ritual and attain the wish-granting abilities of the Waxing Moon.

To excel in Fate/Samurai Remnant's combat system and optimize the abilities of each character, it is essential to comprehend the five crucial stats that govern their combat capabilities: HP, ATK, DEF, MAT, and TEC. Whether taking direct control of Miyamoto Iori, assuming the role of Saber, or harnessing the power of a Rogue Servant, understanding these stats is vital for achieving mastery in the game.

What Does HP do?

What Does ATK do?

Understanding HP is essential as it determines a character's overall health capacity. With higher HP, a character can endure more damage in battles without succumbing to defeat. Boosting Iori's HP early on can prove advantageous for players struggling with evasion or combat encounters in general. This extra buffer allows for a better grasp of the combat system, acting as a valuable safety net for errors or unexpected situations.

ATK is an easily comprehensible stat that amplifies the harm inflicted by a character's physical assaults. Given that these attacks form the majority of most characters' repertoire, possessing a formidable ATK stat proves highly advantageous for effortlessly decimating swarms of adversaries.

What Does DEF do?

The opposite of ATK, DEF is a crucial attribute that mitigates the damage inflicted upon a character by incoming attacks. Having a high DEF enables a character to endure powerful strikes and swiftly recover, thus making it an essential stat to prioritize, especially for newcomers seeking familiarity with the game's combat system. Players can efficiently bolster their DEF by allocating skill points to the DEF-increasing nodes within Iori's Earth Style Skill Tree branch. Accessing this branch early on can be achieved by concentrating skill points on unlocking the Heavy Attack 1 enhancement, which empowers Iori to shield against enemy assaults and execute counterattacks while in Earth Stance.

What Does MAT do?

The Magic Attack stat, also known as MAT, enhances both elemental attacks and magecraft attacks. As a result, Iori can unleash more powerful fire-element magecrafts and execute devastating heavy attacks with Wind Stance. Numerous Servants also incorporate elemental damage into their arsenal, making MAT a highly valuable stat for many. Iori can easily boost his MAT by partaking in Leyline battles and unlocking nodes in the Wind Style skill tree branch. Furthermore, most Servants have the ability to increase their MAT by unlocking specific nodes on their own skill tree.

What Does TEC do?

The TEC stat can be likened to a Luck Stat, enhancing a character's critical rate, perfect evasion success rate (making Ripostes easier to execute), and the likelihood of activating specific skills like Link Strikes and Saber Follow-ups. This stat proves exceptionally valuable when confronting formidable foes like enemy Servants and powerful monsters, as Link Strikes are incredibly effective in stunning enemies with a shell gauge.

Fate/Samurai Remnant can be enjoyed on PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
