Radiant Von Leon vs Clever Hilla
Well, I just got a Radiant Von Leon soul, that's a 4 magic attack bonus. Currently I have a Clever Hilla soul, which is 15 INT. The Von Leon one's better, right?

@Axnslicer: Makes sense. Either way I'm nowhere near that level of funding lol
You should really choose the soul that you like to use. Are you a cat person or do you like having a Redhead follow you?
[quote=Lecarde]@Axnslicer: %int works just how any %stat works, it gives you more int based on how much int you already have. If you have 100int and 10%int you end up with 110int overall. But if you started with 115 int (from the soul) you end up with 126.5int overall, which is a bigger boost. At really high levels of %stat, this becomes better than %att[/quote]
That's a common misconception. In reality, while that's how % int technically works, the implications of this aren't what you think they are.
The reason for this is the damage formula, which is actually multiplicative. Let us ignore secondary stat for the sake of simplicity. So you have
att x (stat x % stat) = damage x coefficient
By the commutative property, this formula can be rewritten as
(att x % stat) x stat = damage x coefficient
So as you can see, it doesn't matter how much % stat you have, the relative value of stat and att is unaffected.
In conclusion, if the +15 int from the Hilla soul is stronger than the 4 magic att from the VL soul or vice versa, this will be true regardless of whether you have 0% int or 100% int. I realize this is counter-intuitive, you'll need to walk through the damage formula a bit before you get it.
What shifts your att:stat balance is not % stat or % att which both multiply right through to damage, but rather + att and + stat.

(4 * primary stats * (1 + %primary stats) + secondary stats * (1 + %secondary stats) * (Weapon Attack / 100 * (1 + %attack)) = range
(current range with soul)/(new range with new soul) = changes in range after equipping new soul
[quote=Lecarde]Generally, yes. At high levels of funding your %int would make the 15INT better for you. But since you are still using hilla soul you are nowhere near that level of funding so I wouldn't worry about it[/quote]
That is not how % int works. However, I agree he should keep the Hilla soul until he can upgrade to Empress/Murgoth. Summons are the most useful souls.
15 int

It depends if you have alot of % int vs % m att.
