Atlantica Online: Looking at VITALITY and MDEF trade-off

Part 1: very simply looking at how much health you gain in in FL battle taking Northern Viking as an example. Remember the higher the vitality the bigger the health grows - it is exponential, not linear. So below you see +631 vitality gets you 4550 health.



Part 2: is more complicated, but not too much. Here we look at the trade-off between health and mdef. Here there are few learnings:

a) From the "intelligence" naked viking to the fully geared viking you can see the vast increase in MDEF which is coming purely from intelligence points from all the items.

b) Adding intelligence to viking in pic #3 gives him an additional 20 MDEF. From 426 this is an increase of 4.7% MDEF, however at the same time he sacrifices health -3.8%. Therefore we can see that we have a choice to be made. One could put tons of intelligence on viking thereby increasing the MDEF which would work really good vs. magic attack enemies OR one could fill him up with health but then the viking will take more damage from magic attacks and also he will take more damage from the fatigue which is based on the max health to the best of our understanding.
- Should we take 200 MDEF or 1k+ health?
- There is no right and wrong answer here. Personally I believe more towards health as one can never predict what enemy one will have.
