In Astellia, there are various ways to improve your character’s attributes and tailor them to your playstyle. We explain in more detail how they work.
What are attributes? You can find the attributes in the character menu under details. There is an overview of values such as:
- Strength
- Intelligence
- Agility
- or Willpower
They improve your attack values, defense values, resources such as health or mana points, or how quickly you regenerate them. However, there is no exact explanation in the game for which attributes improve which values.
What is important about the attributes? You start with 5 value points for your character, which increase as you progress. With these, you can directly improve an attribute, provided you have an Atra Crystal. You can craft these as an archaeologist or buy them at the auction house, and depending on their rarity, they will enhance more attributes.
For physical classes, only physical attack values are displayed, while magical classes only see values for their spells.
An attribute strengthens not just one value, but directly several. We have listed these for you below. In addition to the shown bonuses, all attributes slightly enhance other defensive values. However, the exact list of this would exceed the scope of the article.

How to skill your character
Which attributes should I use now? Although each attribute serves multiple functions directly, it quickly becomes clear which playstyle benefits from which attributes:
- As a tank, you want defense and health points and deal some damage to hold aggro. So you focus on constitution and strength. Alternatively, you can use knowledge for magic defense.
- As a physical damage dealer (assassin and Sagittarius), you mainly want damage. Therefore, you focus on strength, agility, and dexterity.
- As a magical damage dealer, you want spell damage. So focus on intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge.
- As a healer, you need mana and spell power. Both come from willpower. Additionally, knowledge is useful as it also provides mana and increases the chance that your healing critically hits.
Besides the value points in the character menu, you can also improve your attributes through equipment. There, however, the individual bonuses like dodge, physical defense, or magical damage are strengthened directly.
We hope that the overview of the attributes has helped you and we have also gathered more tips for Astellia for you:
