Why do you say there is no offense stat? Just because there is not an ID that reads it out to you doesn't mean it isn't there. If it wasn't then +offense would be the silliest secondary stat in the game
Cause there is not.
There are a lot of bad named terms in this game. Some have even more than 1 meaning like "physical damage" shown on character and "physical damage" from abilities. Example: GG does not use the first physical damage but deals the second physical damage.
Offense, defense, defense penetration and dodge are instead terms affecting more than one "stat" shown (or not even shown in case of physical and special defense) in character screen. Those 4 terms affect both physical and special "stats".
As special and physical come from different attributes and are not the same value, there cannot be an overal offense as a number to be shown. Instead is a term used to not have to say Physical and special every time.
