Xenon Stat Priority Question
I just got back after a while and wondered about Xenon stats, and I did google for answers but none of them quite answered mine so I had to create a thread for this. I know All Stats % is better but with the second best option for a stat potential line, I can choose any stats except INT when rerolling stats right? So why are people going for pure Luk% (and avoiding STR and DEX stats altogether if they don't get All Stats % line) when they're going to consume pots anyway? Hybrid Defenses increases Avoidability by 100% so what gives? In my head, Status Resistance (DEX) makes more sense for me to prioritize, if and only if I don't get All Stats % per gear. Unless those effects (stance, avoid, resist) only affects from base stats and skill passives only? I don't know. What I also noticed that when I hovered over DEX tooltip in Character Stats UI, it mentions both Accuracy and Avoidability while Luk mentions only Avoidability and STR doesn't mention Stance. So might as well go for both LUK and DEX since they both increase Avoidability right? I don't understand.
Again, I haven't played this game for a while so I feel like I'm forgetting a lot important keys here.

@cris1000: So LUK and DEX are the only 2 stats I should prioritize more on? Since DEX and LUK increases Avoidability according to the tooltip. When I started leveling Xenon, I prioritized on LUK (gotten up to a total of 45% LUK) but STR seems to dominate in terms of bonus stat, 330+972 STR vs. 366+973 LUK but overall LUK still wins. I think my Pirate Fafnir set and 14% total STR are the main factor for this.
Ugh I feel like I need to reroll everything properly, because back then I didn't care about % or numbers. I just followed what many Xenons followed, which was Thief Fafnir set (except I use Pirate ver. because of the aesthetics and it's cheaper), All Stats % and prioritize on LUK. I just didn't pay attention to anything or asked questions until now lol.
I'm probably going to reset my base stats so I can redistribute them evenly, or probably focus on DEX and LUK base stats so I can benefit more from DEX and LUK %, and probably increase my avoidability numbers more too right?
From what I know, you go 330 str dex and luk for the Multilateral boost, and then the rest goes into whatever stat you have the highest % potential in. I believe the specific boosts (power stance, status resistance and avoid %) only come from reaching the multilateral thresholds, I don't think adding extra dex past 330 will improve your status resistance.
