DC Universe Online Stats Guide

As in any MMORPG, your hero or villain in DC Universe Online has a variety of stats that can improve his abilities.

However, unlike many other MMOs, the DC Universe Online stats sometimes only effect your strength in PvE (versus the computer) and others which only effect your strength in PvP (versus other players).

To help make light of this confusion, you will find a list of all the stat types and what they do in this DC Universe Online stats guide.

General Stats

General stats are the type of stats that are meaningful in both PvP and PvE. These stats are the best to get because they are used in all parts of the game, whereas other stats are only useful on occasion.

Health

Health (also known as HP or Hit Points) in other games is the amount of damage your character can take before dying. In DC Universe Online, this is a very useful stat, since your hero or villain will be taking damage both in instances and in PvP.

In many other games, only tanks worry about Health, but in this game, maximizing your character’s health is very useful.

Power

Power is simply the currency for using your abilities (powers). This slowly regenerates over time and when using normal attacks with your weapon. You will need to fire off a lot of shots to get a full power bar, so be sure not to waste your abilities.

Might

Increases the damage of your powers. Your damage will go up by 1% for every 4 might you have. This will depend partially on your class. If you are using your powers mostly to do damage, Might is a good stat for you. However, if you are using your powers mostly for control or healing purposes, it will not be as useful.

Restoration

Restoration is just like might but improves healing powers instead of damage. For every 4 restoration you have, it improves your healing by 1%. This is good for any character with healing abilities as you will need to heal both when doing the boss battles and in PvP.

Vitalization

Vitalization increases the rate at which you gain power back . 10 Vitalization increases power generation by 1%. This is actually a fairly small amount and is ideal for control powers. If you are primarily dealing damage or healing with your powers, you will want to focus on might and restoration, respectively.

Precision

Precision increases your weapon’s damage per second rating (also known as DPS). Every 10 Precision will increase your DPS by 1. This means that a slower weapon like a two-hander might get a few extra damage per swing whereas faster weapons like dual pistols might only get a fraction of a damage added per hit.

Precision is not a bad stat, but it depends on how you deal most of your damage. If you rely a lot on your powers for damage, Vitalization is better than Precision. If you rely on your weapon for a good portion of your damage, you will want to increase Precision.

Player vs. Enemy (computer) Stats

Defense

Defense is only used in PvE battles and is the only DC Universe Online stat to be PvE only. Defense mitigates the amount of damage you take, but you need a lot of it to make a difference. It is based on level; at level 30 you will need 71 defense to add up to 1% mitigation while at level 1 you only need 15.

In other words, a level 30 player with 71 defense will take 99 damage from an attack that would hit a player with 0 defense for 100 damage. You will need a lot of defense for the effect to be noticeable.

Player vs. Player Stats

Dominance

Dominance is one of the DC Universe Online Stats that is very important in PvP. This determines how much damage you can deal to a player who is controlled before they manage to break free. If your dominance is very high, you will be able to do a lot of damage to a stunned player before they become unstunned.

Toughness

Toughness is exactly like defense but is effective versus other players. Once again, 71 toughness is required for 1% mitigation at level 30, which is quite high. Only 15 Toughness is needed for 1% mitigation at level 1.
