Dexterity  

Your dexterity reflects the precision of your attack. This basically indicates how likely it is that your attacks will hit the enemy.

Agility       

Agility is the probability of dodging enemy attacks in Xenoblade 3. Greater agility increases your chances of evading an attack.

Block Rate

This reflects your chances of deflecting an enemy attack. It is important to note that Ether attacks cannot be blocked.

Critical Rate       

This stat indicates your chances of landing a critical hit on your opponents. A critical hit can significantly increase the damage dealt by a hit.

Physical Defense

Physical Defense indicates the amount of damage you take from physical attacks. This effectively reduces the damage dealt by a physical attack.

Ether Defense    

The Ether Defense stat in XC3 indicates the amount of Ether damage you take from Ether attacks. The higher it is, the less vulnerable you are to Ether attacks.
