Strength

mOoVi7K.png

In-Game Description

Attribute required to wield heavy, powerful weapons. Also boosts attack.

Use

  • Many pieces of equipment have a Strength level requirement. Two-handing a weapon or shield halves the Strength level required to use it.
  • Increases Physical ATK: Strength, which modifies damage on weapons with Strength scaling.
    • See this spreadsheet for how ATK bonuses are converted to damage for each weapon's scaling.
  • One of 4 stats that increase Physical DEF.
  • Slightly raises HP.

Strength Requirements

Equipments listed here are only the ones that needs more than 3 points of Strength, because the lowest Strength you can get is 3 (by choosing Sorcerer as a starting class). Remember that this list is only the Strength requirement for one-handing an equipment, so you can also two-hand it to wield with lower Strength.

Bows and Greatbows are always used in two hands, and so they have been listed with half the Strength requirement.
