SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream – Quick Guide to Meta Stats

Meta Stats Guide

By Zakum.

Ranking the best stats for each piece of gear (only Lv. 5 values are shown).

Elemental lines imply that they match the weapon’s element.

Crit rate is ranked slightly higher than attack because while they are equal at 100% crit damage, you may have some other lines that grant crit damage, making crit rate slightly stronger. Crit rate is also more effective on less frequent, heavy hits (critting 1 hit of 75k is more likely than critting 3 hits of 25k). Crit rate calculations assume average luck; there may be variance in actual use.

Ranged/Melee damage is most effective on characters whose attacks are either fully ranged or fully melee, and may not be suitable in all cases. In most cases, characters are heavily one or the other, so this is not considered ‘situational’ (△). Note that if you plan to play multiple characters in the same role, crit rate/attack may be more desirable than making two separate ranged/melee rings.

Weapon-specific legendary lines are not included as that is case-by-case, but Elemental Flux is included.

Advanced skill damage not included because its only 6%, whereas you can have 5%-6% on all attacks by using attack, crit rate, or ranged/melee damage.

• △ indicates that a line is theoretically better but may be situational/not recommended, such as Weak Point Damage or ATK Up and Max HP.
• ☆ indicates that a line only applies when enemies are mainly weak to the same element, i.e. boss battles.
