What is the stat triangle in Game of Thrones: Dragonfire?

It's the fine engine of combat, confirmed word for word on every Order's text. There are 3 damage types, each raised by one stat and reduced by another:

| Damage | raised by | reduced by |

|---|---|---|

| Physical 🩸 | Strength | Instinct |

| Fire 🔥 | Intelligence | Initiative |

| Tactical 💜 | Instinct | Intelligence |

In other words: +Strength boosts your physical damage but does nothing for fire; −Instinct on the enemy multiplies ALL the physical damage your team deals it.

The master lever: lowering the enemy's defensive stat multiplies that damage type for your whole army. Which is why you build an army around one dominant damage type plus the debuffs that serve it.
