Lies of P is a game that follows the classic Soulslike formula, and as such, it has stats that are connected to a range of sub-stats. One of these stats is Advance, which is analogous to Magic or Intelligence stats in other games and completes the trio of stats that affect your attack power in Lies of P. Advance affects your skill with your Legion Arm, which is a semi-magical/tech skill, and it also impacts physical, fire, electric, disruption, shock, break, and acid resistance. It increases the power of your elemental attacks and Legion Arms, allowing players to get creative with the damage they do, looking for a boss’s weaknesses and exploiting them to the fullest. It also greatly boosts your resistance to elemental damage. Players who enjoy using Advance-scaling weapons that typically inflict both physical and elemental/status damage may want to consider an Advance build.
