The damage from floors and traps ignores your Defense stat, so it can tank your stage score.

* At the arcade, there's a decent "Prevent all status ailments" accessory for 20,000 Arcade medals. Getting that many is a pain though. Fishing has the highest potential payout, but it requires somewhat of a bank of medals to play, as the higher levels are increasingly difficult to break even on. Other games are easier, but pay out less. Some games give notes for the character profile pages, though. Later in the game though, you can buy a better one for 10,000 Yen at the Antique Shop. | * At the arcade, there's a decent "Prevent all status ailments" accessory for 20,000 Arcade medals.
