Oh this is pretty gay
So apparently there are 39 level ups right? (0-20, and 1-20 after you promote)
These aren't like the Fire Emblem games. The level up bonuses are NOT random, but they're added up. So if you have a 50% stat boost, then every two levels you will gain one boost. So naturally this means you will lose out on one stat in the end.
So that means if you just went with round numbers the chances are you're going to be missing out on quite a few stat points.
I completely screwed over my lord, and since creating alts is illegal in the board, I'm pretty much stuck with it...
So yeah don't make the same mistake I did and make sure to optimize your %s and such :(
For anyone who wants a Female Mage -> Sage as their Lord, here are the calcs that I was going to use.
+2 HP
+2 Pow
+7% Pow
+12% Skill
+2 Speed
+12% Speed
+2 Def
+19% Def
+19% Res
+1% Luck
= 8 Bonus Stat, 70% Stat Growth.
43/30/23/30/21/30/18 at 20/20
Pretty much this lets you max POW/Speed/Res exactly at 20/20... and have decent stats elsewhere. It's a shame that you can't have too much HP or you'll end up missing everything (lol 18 skill max)
The reason I went through this is because of stat caps. As it stands my current lord will lose 3 POW and 1 Speed, points better used in her poor defenses. Meaning it's hardly optimal anyway.
Pretty much I found optimal numbers to go for considering 39 level ups to be at places like 59%, 57%, 54% 52%, 49%, 47%, 44%, etc... just multiply the percentage by 39 and see if that's the minimum percent you want. The thing is that powers of 5 are never seem optimal here.
Meaning that if you want to at least create new characters, you should keep this in mind so your characters are "optimal" - try not to waste stat points. It's not much like EVs as Kira was pointing out because of the existence of a stat cap.
So basically here's how you would calculate your own stats
Basically your final number in a given stat is
Stat = X + 19*(Unit % + Bonus %) + Promotion Bonus, where Stat is capped at 30, 60 if HP. X is your Pre-promotion stat, where
X = Base Stat + Z + 20 * (Unit % + Bonus %). X is capped at 20, 40 if HP. Z is your bonus point (0~2, 0,2 or 4 if HP)
You need to keep both in mind but just note that unless you have a ridiculous stat growth (like 65%) you will probably not cap out.
Keep in mind that the extra .5 whatever that didn't get used do carry over when you're promoted.
If you're too lazy to do these, just steal them from other people. Look at the "top" battlers and see their stat growths.
EDIT: Whoo, you can get your FETO account deleted... I guess I am starting from scratch ^_^;;
