With a game like Paradox, it can get confusing on which branch of skills and moves to focus on. So we’re making it easier for you with our full Paradox stats guide that will list all moves in the game you can get.

What are Stats in Paradox?
In Paradox, Stats are essentially fourskill treeswhich let you focus on specific move sets. There are a total of four branches which you can invest in:
Stats don’t affect your damage, health and the similar. Instead theyunlock moves (skills) usually every 5 pointswhich you will use in battle. You can put in Stat points into multiple branches, though I suggest focusing five by five to unlock moves. You can’t put points in both Hakuda and Sword. You will have to choose one or the other.
Speaking from experience as someone who spread out the stats across the branches at the start and then kept getting destroyed by both NPCs and players since I didn’t have any moves. If you’ve done the same as I have, luckilyStat resetscan be purchased from the store or obtained fromcodes. These will wipe your Stats back to zero, so use them wisely.
However, unlocking moves doesn’t mean you will instantly have them. To get moves, you have to useSkill Gems, Cores, and Crystals.You can get them through completing missions and defeating bosses
How to increase Stats in Paradox
To increase Stats in Paradox, you have tolevel up. That means that you have to increase yourPotentialby completing missions and defeating bosses. Each time you level up, you will getthree Stat points.
All Hakuda moves in Paradox
Hakuda moves focus onhand-to-hand combat, so don’t be surprised when your sword disappears (I really chose this and then spent the next five minutes wondering where my sword went). If you want to have those fists of steel and prefer up close combat, then this is the stat branch for you.
All Kido moves in Paradox
Kido moves vary based on yourrace. So depending on which Paradox race you chose, you will be able to unlock five Kido moves. As a Quincy, I’ve definitely put in Stat points into the Kido branch for some great bow and arrow moves, but I think whichever race you choose, at least five or 10 stat points in Kido are worth it at the start.
All Speed moves in Paradox
For me, Speed is an essential skill branch in Paradox. It doesn’t have to be your primary focus, but when you see everyoneteleporting and rushingaround you, you’ll want to put in a bunch of stat points here. The faster you move, the deadlier you are.
All Sword moves in Paradox
The Sword branch is, pretty self explanatory, for people who prefer to use a sword as their weapon. While one of my slots is Hakuda, the other one is focused on Sword moves.
If you want to follow in Ichigo’s footsteps, then a sword is the way to go, and I think if you are just starting the game, it will be easier to get a grasp on.
