it really depends on the class but i think def is best

vulca wouldnt do well with defense because he relies on beserk blade to get low and rek people, however defense would give vulca breathing room when at low health and no downside to spamming defense lowering attacks, which makes defense a foolproof choice for most situations, and works when you are stunned, staggered, or otherwise helpless

speed is the worst tbh because it depends on the class, running is good but doesnt grant a victory, not every class can kite even with 100 speed, and many attacks in the game stun or stagger entirely negating speed or they set speed to 0.

attack depends if the stat boost is always attack for everyone, or chosen. however, in a situation where attack is natural and the enemy has naturally high defense, defense would take the prize since maintaining a high attack is tougher than maintaining defence exception obsidian. attack does not help if you are stunned or staggered, similarly to speed
