Strength (Dark Souls II)

Strength is a stat in Dark Souls II.

General Information
Strength is required to wield all weapons in Dark Souls II; the general rule being that the bigger a weapon is, the more Strength that is needed to wield it. Raising one's Strength value primarily increases the player's Strength Attack Bonus, the value of which is multiplied by a hidden modifier of a weapon when attacking. Raising Strength also boosts the player's HP and Physical Defense stats slightly.
