[[File:Ss fe10 nolan strength.png|thumb|right|[[Nolan]]'s strength is very high, to the point that he can kill this [[Myrmidon]] in a single hit despite their [[weapon triangle]] and [[terrain]] advantages.]] | |||
'''Strength''' (abbreviated: ''Str''; Japanese: {{hl|力|Chikara}} ''strength''), named '''Attack''' (abbreviated: ''Atk'') in {{title|Shadows of Valentia}}, is a statistic applied to [[unit]]s which determines a unit's raw physical muscle. Its most significant use is in determining the damage a unit inflicts when wielding physical weapons, being added to the [[might]] of the weapon they currently wield to produce their [[Attack (stat)|attack stat]]. Strength's opposite stat is [[defense]], which reduces the physical damage sustained by units. Depending on the game, strength occasionally has other uses such as in improving [[attack speed]]. | |||
In almost every game, strength is not used for [[Magic (element)|magical]] attacks, which instead use the [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]] in the same way. The | Like other stats, a unit's potential prowess in strength is determined by their [[class]], with several classes such as the [[Fighter]] and [[Barbarian]] being built to have very high strength compared to other classes. Broadly speaking, it is very common for classes which sport high strength to also have high [[maximum HP]] and poor-to-mediocre [[skill (stat)|skill]], and they also commonly wield [[axe]]s. On the other hand, numerous other classes, such as [[Thief|Thieves]] and magic units, are built to lack strength, with a high [[speed]] stat being frequently accompanied by mediocre strength at best. | ||
In almost every game, strength is not used for [[Magic (element)|magical]] attacks, which instead use the [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]] in the same way. The exceptions are {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} and ''Shadows of Valentia'', which use strength for magical attacks in the same way as physical ones. Additionally, in {{title|Gaiden}} and the [[Game Boy Advance]] trilogy, strength and magic are essentially the same stat, read from the same values, and whether it is named "strength" or "magic" merely depends on the unit's class and displayed [[weapon level]]s; however, in ''Gaiden'', classes that can use weapons and magic display "strength", whereas no such classes exist in the GBA games. | |||

===Attack=== | ===Attack=== | ||
Strength is used to calculate attack with physical weapons ([[sword]]s, [[lance]]s, [[axe]]s, [[bow]]s, [[dagger]]s, [[gauntlets]], and—in ''Radiant Dawn''—[[Staff#Self-defense in Radiant Dawn|staves]]). In {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} and ''Shadows of Valentia'', strength is also used to calculate attack with magic weapons ([[tome]]s and [[black magic]]). | |||

- This article is about the stat. For the card from the Nintendo DS games, see Strength (card). For the staff from New Mystery of the Emblem, see Strength Staff.
Strength (abbreviated: Str; Japanese: 力 strength), named Attack (abbreviated: Atk) in Shadows of Valentia, is a statistic applied to units which determines a unit's raw physical muscle. Its most significant use is in determining the damage a unit inflicts when wielding physical weapons, being added to the might of the weapon they currently wield to produce their attack stat. Strength's opposite stat is defense, which reduces the physical damage sustained by units. Depending on the game, strength occasionally has other uses such as in improving attack speed.
Like other stats, a unit's potential prowess in strength is determined by their class, with several classes such as the Fighter and Barbarian being built to have very high strength compared to other classes. Broadly speaking, it is very common for classes which sport high strength to also have high maximum HP and poor-to-mediocre skill, and they also commonly wield axes. On the other hand, numerous other classes, such as Thieves and magic units, are built to lack strength, with a high speed stat being frequently accompanied by mediocre strength at best.
In almost every game, strength is not used for magical attacks, which instead use the magic stat in the same way. The exceptions are Mystery of the Emblem and Shadows of Valentia, which use strength for magical attacks in the same way as physical ones. Additionally, in Gaiden and the Game Boy Advance trilogy, strength and magic are essentially the same stat, read from the same values, and whether it is named "strength" or "magic" merely depends on the unit's class and displayed weapon levels; however, in Gaiden, classes that can use weapons and magic display "strength", whereas no such classes exist in the GBA games.
Calculations
Attack
Strength is used to calculate attack with physical weapons (swords, lances, axes, bows, daggers, gauntlets, and—in Radiant Dawn—staves). In Mystery of the Emblem and Shadows of Valentia, strength is also used to calculate attack with magic weapons (tomes and black magic).
Physical attack
Magical attack
Game | Formula | Notes |
---|---|---|
Gaiden | (Strength or Magic) + (Might × Effectiveness) | -- |
Mystery of the Emblem | Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) | -- |
Echoes: Shadows of Valentia | Base Attack + (Might × Effectiveness) | Base Attack is not increased by any equipped weapons. |
Attack speed
In Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Shadow Dragon, and Three Houses, strength is also employed in the attack speed formula instead of constitution, as a factor mitigating the effect of a weapon's weight on a unit.
Game | Formula | Notes |
---|---|---|
Path of Radiance | Speed − (Weight − Strength) | If (Weight-Strength) is negative, the result is taken to be 0. |
Radiant Dawn | Speed − (Weight − Strength) | If (Weight-Strength) is negative, the result is taken to be 0. |
Shadow Dragon | Speed − (Weight − Strength) | If (Weight-Strength) is negative, the result is taken to be 0. |
Three Houses | Speed − [ Weapon weight − (Strength / 5) ] | If (Weight-(Strength/5)) is negative, the result is taken to be 0. |
In this formula, if strength is more than the weapon's weight, the attack speed is simply the character's speed stat.
Other
Stealing
In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, strength also affects the ability to steal. If a character's attack speed is greater than the enemy's combined attack speed and strength combined, that enemy can be stolen from; additionally, the thief's attack speed must also be greater than the weight of the weapon in order to allow weapons to be stolen.
Game | Formula | Notes |
---|---|---|
Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn | If Thief's attack speed > enemy's (attack speed + strength) > Weight of target weapon | The game will only list weapons which meet this criteria. |
Conditions
In Thracia 776, strength is halved temporarily when attempting to capture an enemy unit, or when carrying an allied unit. Also, if under the effects of the Sleep or Stone conditions, a character's strength becomes 0.
