Avatar Stats

[Mokeil]

There's actually been a pretty good deal of testing on avatars over on the Allakhazam forums over the years. Here's some of the more recent tests. All credit goes to kegsay for his awesome dedication to finding these things out for us.

Let's see if I can remember some of the other things that have come up... (I may be remembering some of these things wrong, so please feel free to correct me.)

Essentially, all of the celestial avatars are Black Mages; good ole Carby is a White Mage. They have Job Traits appropriate to their jobs. For example, Carby gets his Auto-Regen exactly at 25, the same level a White Mage does.

The avatars, while undeniably having very hefty individualized elemental resistances, all have identical physical stats (Str, Dex, etc) This means that Ifrit does not have higher Str than the others, that Shiva does not hav higher Int than the others, and so on. Carbuncle does less damage than the others because of the way his damage is calculated (which is covered in the first link I provided).

All of the avatars have the same attack delay, bar one. Fenrir actually has a lower delay than all the others. Garuda can even it out with her Hastega, however.

That's simply because of the elemental day/weather bonus. Elemental spells and abilities gain damage and possibly accuracy boosts with matching day. This applies to everything, including the spells our avatars use (like Wind Blade, for example).

I don't think this one ever came up formally. So far as I can tell, (annecdotal evidence only, I know, but backed up by years of being a Summoner) this is the only effect that weather and day has on an avatar.
