Upgrade Your Weapons
Weapons are the main source of Phys. Atk. and Mag. Atk. Check the shop in each new town, since its weapons usually beat what you carry.
Armor and Accessories
Armor and accessories mostly raise defense, but many add Sanctity, Speed or HP too. You find them in shops and chests.
Rank Up Visions
Mastery Ranks give stat bonuses that stay even after you unequip the Vision. Every Vision has several, so ranking many Visions adds up.
Pick Stat Answers in Dialogue
When a party member asks you something and a choice menu pops up, each answer gives a permanent bonus. The questions at Sanctums before you get a Vision do not change stats.
Every answer and its bonus is in the dialogue choices guide.
Finish Character Substories
Each party member has a personal sub quest that ends with a stat bonus and a unique accessory. The side quests page lists them all.
Buff During Battle
Spells like Protect, Bravery and Haste raise stats for a few turns. Recast them when they run out.
