# Hero stats importance
This section will explain the minimum stats required to be eligible for the maximum rewards for fighting a boss.
Stats are important to be able to dish out enough damage to earn good rewards! You get stats when adding equipment, Gems and Runes to your Hero.
It is worthwhile to note that you can't just go for maximum stats and then go beat up the easiest Boss over and over again; there are restrictions, both for max monster levels and also for max Hero stat usage. This can be found on top of the Bosses, as shown below:
If your hero has the minimum stats required, you will receive the maximum possible points and rewards. If your hero has only a portion of the minimum, they will earn that portion of the maximum possible points and rewards.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Example:** If you have 10 total stats on your hero, but the minimum is 20, you will receive 50% of the potential reward. Your potential may be reduced even more IF you use Splinterlands starter cards.
{% endhint %}
The minimum stats per Boss are as follows:
* Bronze: 20 stat points.
* Silver: 30 stat points.
* Gold: 40 stat points.
* Diamond: 50 stat points.
To find this, you can click on a Boss -> Battle -> Scroll down, and there you go! Shown on the picture below.
