Does your PM add to your own stats?

[sscaff1]

Or are they considered totally separate from you?

I wanted to make a PM with high defense and stuff to help me in battle since I'm going to play force. I just wanted to make sure that they didn't boost your own stats.

PA=Photon Art is basically a special attack with melee weapons and the ability to learn spells :/

Edited sorry I meant partner Machinery.

The stats on them only effect their crafting ability, and evolutionary path, not their combat stats, or your own stats

[SpishackCola]

PMs are entirely different from mags. No added stats to anything.

[sscaff1]

How does it affect their crafting abilities? Like if they get a really high power rating can they craft high ATP weapons? How do they help you in battle if their stats do not affect their combat stats?

The higher your POW, the better success rate you have at crafting melee weapons.
DEX for Range
MIND for Magic
DEF for Armor

I assume they just have a set of stats they are given once they reach max evolution and can fight with you.

Thanks a lot. God I can't wait for this game to come out I'm so excited.

so wait a minute, im going to be a force, so i wanted my pm to be high in mind so that it could synth good force weapons. but the issue is that i want it to be a hunter or ranger in battle, so that it could offset my force abilities. so are you saying that i can still make it high in mind, since its battle stats are not affected by its growth?

[Rizen]

I believe you can still have a PM with a good amount of Mind and be a ranger type in Combat...
Are you going for the Handgun one or the Shotgun one?

[Ether]

If it has 10 or more power before its first evolution (level 30) it'll turn into GH-201 and be unable to reach GH-450, which is the force PM. After that you could raise mind all you want

While on the topic of PM's, i got a question; i know that pow = melee, dex = range etc, however, what about the odd weapons, ie- Bows, a force weapon, but a ranged weapon, so would i want a PM high in DEX for more success at bows?

[Rizen]

Correct
