Guide:Theoretical maximum stats
This page collects the maximum achieveable level for specific stat targets. This means:
- The listed stat is possible on a real character in that league (ie no wearing multiple helmets)
- Actual viability of achieving the stat (price, survivability, etc.) is not considered
Although none of these builds are useful on their own, a build creator can use this for reference for sources of desirable stats. Maximum stats shown below are on a "best effort" basis - they may be inaccurate, feel free to contribute to improve them.
Stylistic choices made:
- For stats which can be scaled by "enemy damage taken" and more damage modifiers, these are included in said stat's breakdown.
- A complete build would require balancing all multiplicative and additive stats (such as increased damage, etc.)
- For the purposes of build reference usefulness, a stat maximizing builder will likely not want to take more of a damage stat if it gives less damage compared to the opportunity cost.
- Increased modifiers are very numerous (reducing readability) and less likely to have an outsized impact (for most builds) compared to "more" and "enemy damage taken" modifiers.
- Therefore, only "enemy damage taken" and "more" modifiers are considered for tradeoffs for effective stat maximums.
