Final Fantasy XV stats

The following is a list of stats in Final Fantasy XV. Stats apply to both party members and enemies. The player can view an explanation on all stats from the main menu guide.

List of stats[]

Level and EXP[]

The party member's level determines their Max HP and Noctis's Max MP. Leveling up can also increase the member's Attack, Defense, Strength, Vitality, Magic and Spirit stats. A character's level is factored into their damage-dealing calculations.

Party members obtain EXP (Experience Points) by defeating monsters, using Expericast elemancy, and completing quests, but cannot use it to level up unless they rest. EXP earned from a defeated enemy is added to all party members that aren't currently Downed, even in instances where the battle results aren't shown. Expericast spells give bonus EXP to the party, higher level spells granting more EXP. It doesn't matter what enemy the player uses it on; the EXP yield is the same.

By setting up a camp at a safe location or staying in a lodging, the player can apply the EXP earned to level up the party. The earned EXP also applies when the player completes a chapter. If the party stays at a lodging, they cannot cook food for buffs, among them buffs that boost EXP earned from monsters, but can inflate the EXP yield and level up at an expedited rate. Using the Nixperience Band allows for low-level challenge playthroughs. Guests do not earn EXP or level up.

The original level cap was 99, raised to 120 in a patch.

AP[]

The party earns AP (Ability Points) for spending on unlocking nodes on the Ascension to learn new skills and to boost stats. It takes over 18,000 AP to max out the Ascension grid.

Defeating enemies with warp-strikes, parries, or linked attacks as Noctis will yield 1 AP. Completing the strategy prompts the player's party members assign to Noctis at the beginning of a random enemy encounter awards 20 AP after patch 1.21 (as opposed to the 1 or 2 AP doing them used to yield before). Warp-striking a target to initiate a cross chain will grant 1 AP, even if the target perishes from the warp-strike.

When playing as Gladiolus via character-swapping, defeating enemies with Glaive Arts earns AP. When playing as Ignis, defeating enemies with High Jump or Total Clarity skills will earn AP. When playing as Prompto, defeating enemies with crackshots will earn AP.

When a party member levels up, 3 AP will be awarded. Certain quests may also award additional AP based on their difficulty. Camping will give AP, so long as a different campsite is visited from the last. Completing training sessions at havens for the first time will yield 5 AP. Completing Tour quests at certain havens will reward 20 AP.

The free Holiday Pass gives players access to the Warrior's Fanfare accessory, which yields 1 AP for finishing a battle with an A+ ranking in offense. Season pass holders have access to the Tactician's Fanfare, which yields 4 AP for obtaining an A+ ranking in Finesse and the Blitzer's Fanfare, which yields 2 AP for an A+ ranking in timing.

The player can also unlock various abilities that reward AP for doing things other than battling monsters:

• Angler Action gains 1 AP for catching fish.
• Sportfishing gains extra AP for catching big fish (each species has its own value).
• Appetize gains 1 AP from cooking a party member's favorite food.
• Chocobump gains 1 AP for every 0.875 miles traveled by chocobo.
• Chocojockey gains 1 AP from winning a chocobo race.
• Happy Camping increases AP gained from camping to 2.
• Happier Camping increases AP gained from camping to 3.
• Roadrunning gains 1 AP every 1.25 miles traveled by car.
• Aperture gains 1 AP for a critical Snapshot.

Stamina[]

ST represents stamina, which Noctis consumes when he performs actions such as sprinting and point-warping. When the stamina bar runs out, it takes some time to replenish.

Loading screen

Stamina is represented as a green bar that determines how long Noctis, Ignis, and Prompto can sprint, as well as how long Noctis can hang after point-warping, and climb the steep slope on the Rock of Ravatogh before sliding down. Gladiolus lacks a stamina gauge and can sprint indefinitely.

Stamina depletes gradually, from full to empty after roughly 20 seconds uninterrupted, and fills back up over time. Running into obstacles, stopping abruptly, or vaulting over low barriers may also replenish the gauge. If the player releases the sprint button right as Noctis, Ignis, or Prompto's stamina gauge is about to run out, they will dash forward and it will fully replenish instantly. Two Ascension upgrades add 5 seconds each to Noctis's stamina gauge.

Noctis's Stamina does not rebuild during air combos. The Soul Saber sword deals more damage the lower Noctis's stamina is, and thus can be a good air combo weapon in the right circumstances.

If Noctis runs out of stamina, he will slowly come to a jog, and cannot sprint, warp, hang, or dodge-roll until it replenishes half way. Ignis and Prompto will instead come to a complete halt, but will only have to wait until the bar recharges 1/4 of the way.

Some foods, the Stamina Badge, and the Royal Raiment (No Jacket) attire provide the Endurance buff that grants infinite stamina for sprinting and climbing. The Stamina meter can be hidden from the UI.

Chocobos also have a stamina stat, which can be improved by feeding them Mimett or Sylkis Greens, and by leveling them up.

HP[]

Base stat for determining maximum health.

Description

HP determines a unit's health. If a party member falls to 0 HP, they enter a Danger state, in which they can do nothing but stumble around until their HP is replenished. In Danger, max HP continually decreases, and will further deplete by getting attacked, though a party member in Danger can absorb noticeably more damage compared to their regular health bar. After a while, they will automatically recover. True max HP will always be displayed in the main menu. If a character's max HP falls to 0, they will be Downed, and the player has a short window to use a Phoenix Down or Mega Phoenix to revive them. Otherwise, the player gets a Game Over. On Easy Mode, depending on the location and fight, Carbuncle will revive the party leader should they be Downed. Guests cannot enter Danger state, and thus can't be Downed.

HP is restored with items, the Rescue command when used on a party member in Danger, the First Aid abilities, Healcast magic (which also restores max HP), and the Revitalized and Serene statuses. Both HP and max HP gradually recover over time (based on percentage), and at an accelerated rate outside of battle, though max HP doesn't recover in dungeons. There are weapons, accessories, attire, and recipes that boost both HP and MP recovery rate. When Noctis is staggered, he briefly stops regenerating HP and MP. Enemies rapidly restore HP outside of battle. When poisoned, HP will not passively recover, though recovering from Danger is still possible. HP and max HP are fully restored when camping or eating at restaurants.

The Health Level abilities in the Stats grid of the Ascension can boost the party's HP. Health Level increases max HP of each character by the formula ${\displaystyle MaxHP = BaseHP + (CurrentLevel * 2)}$. Health Level II increases max HP of each character by the formula ${\displaystyle MaxHP = BaseHP + (CurrentLevel * 5)}$. Health Level III increases max HP of each character by the formula ${\displaystyle MaxHP = BaseHP + (CurrentLevel * 10)}$.

In the Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae demo, Noctis can always summon Ramuh when he is at 0 HP after acquiring him. In the full game, he can randomly summon Leviathan at 0 HP.

MP[]

Base stat for determining maximum magical energy.

Description

MP is a stat mostly reserved for Noctis. It is expended when successfully phasing through attacks, warping, using machinery abilities, and casting magic with the Ring of the Lucii. When Noctis runs out of MP, he enters a state called Stasis for several seconds, in which he won't be able to use these abilities. Attempting to warp will briefly stun him. Noctis can still brace most attacks in stasis with the phase button, greatly reducing the damage taken.

MP refills automatically over time (based on percentage), or through the use of items. Point-warping restores all MP. Taking cover and wearing certain accessories expedites the rate MP refills. Successfully dodging attacks with the Ring of the Lucii will recover some MP. The player can learn abilities in the Ascension that affect MP use: Blink lets the player phase through enemies' attacks without expending MP if timed just right, Light Phase cuts the MP cost of phasing, Osmostrike recovers MP when an aerial attack connects, Rapid Regen boosts HP and MP recovery rate when in cover by 10%, and Experimagic boosts Noctis's MP by the following formula: ${\displaystyle MaxMP = BaseMP + CurrentLevel}$.

Gladiolus and Ignis have 100 base MP when they are being controlled, and it can be boosted with equipment. Similar to the Ring of the Lucii, their MP drains rapidly while defending, rather than when successfully dodging attacks, but it also recovers faster and their Stasis periods are significantly shorter. Unlike Noctis, they cannot brace attacks or dodge-roll in stasis. Ignis also consumes MP when pseudo-airstepping with his Lightning daggers, but can do this seamlessly thanks to the high regeneration rate. Prompto has no MP and likewise no dodging ability, aside from his dodge-rolls.
