For playing the original Dink game, which is most important? Attack, defence, or magic? I currently have attack 4, defence 1, magic 0. I'm close to levelling one of them, so which one? Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Defense is the most important one, then it's magic and finally attack.
attack. defense isn't really needed. crush everything under your size 3 boots.
If youy're sufficiently skilled at dodging enemies, magic, or if you're brave, attack. Defense is useful to learn how to dodge enemies, or for combining with herb boots and just tanking damage while cherry tapping.
Weapons and secrets already give you a good boost of attack, hence why it is at the last position, while defense is most important one since afaik defense potions are rare.
At the point you are at Magic, because you need, if memory serves, 4 points in it to progress through one part of the story. You might be able to find enough magic potions in the wild to make up for it, but that requires you to scrounge through the wilderness and find most of the secrets.
Other than that, I always put all level-up points on attack. Putting them on defence might make for an easier game overall, but I dislike the way defence affects gameplay. It makes combat more of a slog both by making killing enemies take longer, and by lowering the stakes because even when an enemy does hit you, it doesn't do much damage.

there might actually be enough to get acid rain off nothing but potions, but i'm not sure.

Thank you everyone for your input. I will try to use your advice well.
I am also a "put most of your level up points into defense" person. It makes the most sense based on the math in the game. The percentage of damage shaved off what is done to Dink is generally at a much higher percentage than the damage boost strength does to his enemies, especially late in the game when you get so many weapons that boost his strength. There are no defense boosting items you can equip in the main game.
When playing mods, I've found that putting stats into defense helps a ton because some of them are really hard and that will be your best chance at survival. I'm suspecting how people put stats into Dink is part of the reason why some people have a hard time with certain mods and others find them easy.

If you can find sexiness potions, those'll be a huge help later on
For me or Dink? Lol.
usually i dump all levelup points in magic as i love using ranged tactics and it helps defending against casters too but defense is also good and the swords are strong enough when combined with the potions you find so i agree attack is least needed
