Bonus Stats for Characters from Lv. 70
Upon reaching Lv. 70, characters gain Extra AP Against Monsters +3 and Monster Damage Reduction +3.
Both stats then increase by 3 with each level gained, reaching 18 each at Lv. 75.
| Level | Extra AP Against Monsters | Monster Damage Reduction |
|
70 |
3 | 3 |
| 71 | 6 | 6 |
| 72 | 9 | 9 |
| 73 | 12 | 12 |
| 74 | 15 | 15 |
| 75 | 18 | 18 |
If you have a tagged character, the lower-level character also receives the bonus stats of the higher-level character. For example, if a Lv. 72 character and a Lv. 66 character are tagged, the Lv. 66 character also gets Extra AP Against Monsters +9 and Monster Damage Reduction +9. These bonus stats do not stack.
You can also check the applied stats under "Detailed Stats" in My Stats UI.

▲ Extra AP Against Monsters and Monster Damage Reduction applied at Lv. 75

In Monster Zone Info, you can see the recommended level before each monster zone's name.
You can also see which monsters appear in that zone and how much EXP you can gain from defeating them.

Level Difference Between Adventurers and Monsters
A monster's name color indicates the level difference between your character and that monster.
