# Stat build for Samabat

A player asks how to distribute chakra stats on a Samabat mage, with follow-ups on Abikara and Banar. Replies argue mental is the strongest build for leveling and mob damage, while a mental/heart balance is recommended for PvP survival against Jama Tirika, which scales off the target's TP. Later posts add that nerve helps accuracy/evasion for sleep and stun spells, and that base spell damage scales mainly with character level.

Please help with stat build for Samabat

## From the replies

**akaneryouzouju:** max nerve and heart

**dudez1206:** and for abikara?

**captrael23:** mental for burst and leveling, balanced for Kruma (mental heart).

**dudez1206:** why are some threads saying abikara nerve build?its actually my reason for posting coz im confused

**captrael23:** mainly because of Jama Tirika skill byt Karyas, which deals damage based from amount of TP you have. If you go high mental, JT deals damatge to the point it can one hit you.

**captrael23:** so you need balance if you choose menta build. Mental is significantly stronger than nerve build based from my experience

**captrael23:** but regardsless of build, at end of the day it all comes down to your character's level. All spells have base damage, so the chakras only add up to that.

**captrael23:** The higher your level, the stronger you are as a mage at PvP.

**captrael23:** They say balanced is a good build for Banar (muscle heart) but i haven't tried/tested myself.

**paopao0807:** Do you suggest pure mental samabat for leveling then chakra reset once max level to max out nerve and heart chakra?

**katilis.:** you will have no damage if put nerve as for hunting mage user here much better if mental.

**rokudox:** this applies to both samabat and abikara?

**katilis.:** yes'2 I was samabat last week I change job I'm tired of being samabat hahaha need to look always for GOS

**katilis.:** I tried experimenting putting nerve I used 3 chakra reset 3 times just to test it

**katilis.:** more mental the higher damage you can dealt with non player

**katilis.:** or mobs

**paopao0807:** I’m currently lvl 55 at 300 pure mental build. If I craft the kathana charm, should I choose Nerve or Mental main stat? I’m unsure if the Heart one is worth getting since Deva/Garuda has low HP gain per heart chakra. Also considering for my build change once max level

**gibranji:** if you craft heart charm, you can use it for other job in the same account.

**riven0591:** sa tingin ko yung fire element sa weapon merong effect yan sa dadati.

**riven0591:** I think Boss KZ! is working to show the magic attack in character info.

**riven0591:** check this bro https://discord.com/channels/1363839027114934315/1363858402110865580/1515372887895179447

**codesniper9548:** this works. for leveling (pve) pure mental and 100 base heart is Destructive. Then if you decide to go PVP already in Amara, Chakra reset to Max heart and Mental ( add nerve for Evasion and Accu for your spells) You need Accu so that your sleep spell or Stun less chance of missing
