How character stats work:
Strength: raw physical power, directly increasing the damage dealt by physical attacks. impacting the ability to lift, carry, or smash objects.
Stamina: resilience and endurance, impacting the ability to withstand physical hardship, perform strenuous actions, and resist ailments.
Agility: speed and balance, impacting their ability to perform physical actions like running, dodging attacks or improving accuracy in ranged combat.
Intellect: mental acuity, knowledge and logical reasoning ability. capacity to learn and understand complex information, including languages and problem-solving. it also affects magical power, influencing the effectiveness of spells.
Mana: a finite resource that is consumed when casting spells or using other magical abilities. Mana acts as a resource, a logical limit to magic use, and a way to track a spellcaster's capability to perform supernatural feats.

Instead of numbers or letters (A-F) to determine how strong the character is. I replaced them with.
S - ✷ - Ascendant
A - ✯ - Elite
B - ☆ - Advance
C - ✧ - Competent
D - ▽- Developing
E - ◍ - Novice
F - ◉ - Untrained
G - + - Inactive
➤ Stat Format:
Stat: [Symbol][+ Marks] – [Tier Name]
Examples:
Strength: +++ → G+++ (Inactive+)
Strength: ◉++ → F++ (Untrained++)
Strength: ◉◉+ → F+ (Almost Intermediate)
Strength: ◍◍◍ → E+++ (Novice Max)
Strength: ✧ → C (Competent)
To level up between letter grades, require either:
3 "+" levels (e.g. ◉+, ◉++, ◉++) to reach the next level (E)
Or a breakthrough event (for ✷ tier / Ascendant)
✷ Ascendant No sub-stages (Breakthrough only)
✯ Elite ✯, ✯+, ✯++
☆ Advanced ☆, ☆+, ☆++
✧ Competent ✧, ✧+, ✧++
▽ Developing ▽, ▽+, ▽++
◍ Novice ◍, ◍+, ◍++
◉ Untrained ◉, ◉+, ◉++
+ Inactive +, ++, +++
