Ah DDS.
I loved this game, but sadly got distracted at the end and lost my place.
The thing to remember is this...
Stats mean next to nothing.
You may be strong as hell, but an enemy can just pound you with your weakness and you're screwed. Although, you can do the same to them
(I was actually able to beat a boss in one round from that.)
So make sure to learn weaknesses and strong points. And learn better devour skills right away.
Enjoy!
