Strategies
Acolytes are a staple class for any party. The two most common routes for an Acolyte would be Support (leading to the Priest Class) and DPS (leading to the Monk class).

For Support Acolytes, the stat that is most important is INT since the Heal skill is based on the character's magical attack. Being a support character, Support Acolytes will most definitely need a Tank or DPS to deal damage while the Acolyte heals and buffs. Soloing with a Support Acolyte is high inefficient. It is suggested you level a support aco with friends, or invite people to your party to complete quests. Many people are happy to have a healer (though you will need to help as much as you can with damage)

As for DPS Acolytes, both STR and INT are equally important given how DPS Acolytes need a balance of physical attack for base damage and magical attack for the Heal skill. DPS Acolytes are quite formidable with their ability to heal and buff themselves while still being able to deal decent damage. Nevertheless, the DPS of an Acolyte more often will lose out to other pure DPS classes which makes DPS Acolytes most suitable for those who intend to go solo.

However, it is also viable to only put points into INT. As most, if not all, Acolyte skills are based on the character's magical attack. Once a DPS Acolyte becomes a Monk, you will have the option to turn INT into Physical Attack Power. A common playstyle is to Max out Lex Divina and Holy Light, as well as Aqua Benedicta and Aspersio. This gives you very nice damage early in the game and you can kill pretty much everything without problems.
