Aside from being a challenging turn-based tactics game, Symphony of War is also an RPG. Your character grows as they gain experience in battle, increasing stats and becoming stronger as you go through the game's chapters. In this Symphony of War guide, we talk about how your answers in the starting character quiz affect gameplay, and how each answer affects the rest of the game.

Of course, it doesn't help you much to know what stats grow when you choose the answers above for the quiz if you have no idea what the stats do. For the stats above, here's a nifty guide:

  • Strength (STR) – Strength determines the ability to deal physical damage and to endure physical attacks. Influences Dragon breath damage. Ideal stat for physical damage and tank classes like the Champion, Zweihander, Centurion, Samurai, Paladin, Knight, Hussar, and Dragon Riders.
