The ''sexy'' personality (or "Vamp" in the iOS version) is often regarded as the best due to its +70% composite attribute bonus. Many choose to use female characters over males, since this personality is exclusive to Females. | The ''sexy'' personality (or "Vamp" in the iOS version) is often regarded as the best due to its +70% composite attribute bonus.

However, not all attributes are equal. | However, not all attributes are equal. Due to the way the game's attributes are calculated, Vitality and Intelligence give the biggest bonuses for every extra point you earn. For reference... | ||

Agility = | Agility = The game multiplies each character's and monster's agility by a random percentage (0-100%), then chooses the highest resulting AGL, executes this character's action, chooses the second best AGL, executes the action, and etc. | ||

The end results of this is are thus: Each point of Strength increases your Damage by ~0.5 points, each point of Agility | The end results of this is are thus: Each point of Strength increases your Damage by ~0.5 points, each point of Agility increase one's chance of going first by variable amounts (depending on the enemy's Agility relative to yours), each point of Luck increases your status resistance by ~0.05-0.24% (depending on which specific spell is being used against you), and each point in Vitality and Intelligence gives '''+2 extra points''' into HP and MP respectively. | ||
Vitality and Intelligence, therefore, give far more value per point than the other attributes. And while the "Sexy/Vamp" has decent Intelligence, its Vitality pales in comparison to personalities such as the "Tough", "Solitary", and "Timid" personalities. In addition, its bonuses, while generally high across the board, are not as high in any attribute as the game's more "specialized" personalities. | |||
For these reasons, you will want to be careful before assigning it to any particular classes. HP is arguably the game's most valuable attribute; and some classes are specialized enough to where they don't actually benefit from all of the bonuses of the "Sexy" personality. | For these reasons, you will want to be careful before assigning it to any particular classes. HP is arguably the game's most valuable attribute; and some classes are specialized enough to where they don't actually benefit from all of the bonuses of the "Sexy" personality. The Warrior, for example, will always be going last in every battle; it makes very little difference whether they have 60% Agility growth or 140% Agility growth. | ||
