Generally, the gain in base attributes for a warrior advancing from the first to the second stage depended on two factors.
First, their talent.
A higher-level talent gained more base attributes during advancements.
The other factor influencing the amount of base attributes received after an advancement was the warrior's own level of skill and preparation.
Resources, time, state of mind.
Everything affected the quality of an advancement.
That was what they called the foundation.
To be a powerful warrior, one needed a powerful foundation.
Alaric was relatively weak for a second-stage warrior, falling far short even of Evelyn, who had a Rank C talent and very high base attributes.
Ethan should have been like him, a Rank D talent destined for mediocrity, but fortunately, that Rank S advancement pearl changed everything.
Glancing at his status screen, he just smiled foolishly.
That shouldn't be inferior to the foundation formed by a Rank A talent.
