Hidden Stat: Player Attack Boost While Mounted (+element type swap)

This is the first set of interesting hidden stats I found. The mounts that swap the player's damage type to an elemental type (e.g., Chillet) also boost the player's attack stat massively. This is not described correctly in-game:

"Can be ridden. Applies <Element> damage to the player's attacks while mounted. "

but really it does this:

  • 'Increases the player's attack by X% and additionally changes the player's damage type to <element>.'

This bonus is HUGE. Between 50% (at Lv.1) and 100% (at Lv. 5). And that is on top of the elemental type weakness multiplier that you will also get if you exploit the enemy's elemental weakness. The absolute highest damage you can do in this game with your own player weapons is while riding a mount that gives you the element swap that exploits the enemy's weakness combined with this huge attack increase. This attack increase applies to all sources of damage you deal too.

Player Attack increase (%) + Element Swap:

Number Name Lv1 Lv2 Lv3 Lv4 Lv5 Element Swap
55 Chillet 50 55 65 80 100 Dragon
56 Univolt 50 55 65 80 100 Electricity
58 Pyrin 50 55 65 80 100 Fire
58 Pyrin Noct 50 55 65 80 100 Dark
66 Maraith 50 55 65 80 100 Dark
73 Beakon 50 55 65 80 100 Electricity
74 Ragnahawk 50 55 65 80 100 Fire
82 Azurobe 50 55 65 80 100 Water
97 Helzephyr 50 55 65 80 100 Dark
  • Frostallion and Frostallion Noct both also swap the player's damage type to ice and dark (respectively), without an attack bonus.
