Strength

Strength

Tooltip

Strength is an Attribute required to equip most equipment that grants Armour, as well as various melee-aligned Weapons and Skills.

Every 1 Strength grants +2 Life. Strength does not grant damage to Skills or any other benefits except where specifically stated.

Strength (or Str) is one of three attributes, along with Intelligence and Dexterity. Strength is required to equip most armour-granting armour, as well as most melee weapons, sceptres, and their associated skills. Characters gain +2 maximum life per strength.

Base stats

Characters start with a certain amount of base strength based on their character class.

• Pure strength character classes (Marauder and Warrior) start with 15 Strength.
• Hybrid strength character classes (Templar, Druid, Duelist, and Mercenary) start with 11 Strength.
• All other non-strength character classes start with 7 Strength.

Strength provides an inherent bonus of +2 maximum life per 1 strength.

• This inherent bonus can be changed to grant 1% increased Energy Shield per 2 strength through the Circular Teachings keystone from Heroic Tragedy.
