Strength

Strength is a melee combat skill in Runic Ages. Along with Attack, it increases the amount of damage the player can inflict using melee by 2.5 points per each combined Attack and Strength level.

A high Strength level means players can deal more damage with melee weapons.

Gaining experience

Players may receive Strength experience during combat by pressing the R key and clicking which of the three melee skills they wish to receive XP in. All mobs give at least 25 Strength experience but specific mobs may give more or less.

Depending on how the player configures the XP split menu, XP received for Strength may also be divided to give XP for the Defense and/or Attack skills.

Temporary boosts

Strength Potions may be used to boost the Strength skill, providing a level increase of 1 + 8% of the skill.
