'''Strength''' (Japanese: {{hl|力|Chikara}} ''strength''), abbreviated '''Str''', 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]].
 
'''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]].


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 exception is {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, which uses strength for magical attacks in the exact same way as physical ones. 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 considered strength or magic merely depends on the unit's class and displayed [[weapon level]]s.

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===
'''Attack''' (Japanese: {{hl|攻撃|Kōgeki}} ''attack''), abbreviated '''Atk''' (Japanese: ＡＴＣ), is the calculation generated from a unit's current offensive stat and the [[might]] of their current weapon, plus any other bonuses they are currently experiencing such as from [[support]]s. A unit's attack is the maximum damage they could possibly inflict in one normal attack, and when attacking, the opponent's defensive stat is subtracted from the attack to generate the amount of damage a unit will deal in a normal, non-[[Critical hit|critical]] or non-[[sword skill]] attack. When a unit is wielding a physical weapon ([[sword]], [[lance (weapon)|lance]], [[axe]], [[bow]], [[dagger]], [[gauntlets]], or—in ''Radiant Dawn''—[[Staff#Self-defense in Radiant Dawn|staff]]), their strength stat is used to generate their attack. In games from ''Genealogy'' onward, their [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]] is used instead when wielding a [[tome]] or [[:Category:Magic weapons|magic weapon]].
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]]).
 
In {{FE15}} and {{title|Heroes}}, strength is not shown on the stat screen; instead, attack is what is shown.
