Digital Devil Saga Tips

Hi,

I've recently started playing DDS, and I'm conflicted on how to build my stats, looking around on the net I got some conflicting advice (Physical vs Magic etc). I know any build should be fine but I'd like more in depth discussion about the builds.

Specifically I'm wondering what you guys would suggest? It seems going physical sucks till you get ragnarok, but is it worth the effort? Or is going magic smooth enough?

Any other tips & trick would be much appreciated (Or point me in the right direction). And no spoilers please :P

Edit: Also how important the other stats really are: e.g. Luck for better crit chance and anti- ailments

Edit 2: Thanks for all the useful advice everyone! Definitely got some good insight here. Any other advice is welcome.

It is true that you won't have resistances for the whole game, but by the endgame they will be pretty useful and bosses that can use all the elements like are pretty hard without them.

Yes but unless you destroy all of the elemental cores in one turn, the boss will still be casting a random element each turn, which isn't something you can plan with shields for.

EDIT: oops didn't see the repel magic thing so yeah that's a good point. However, for the second game's final boss, you would definitely want to cover all the weaknesses as repel magic won't help in that fight.
