'''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.

===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.

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.
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: 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

Game Formula Notes
Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) --
Gaiden Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) When Slayer is active, strength × 3, might = 0
Mystery of the Emblem Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) --
Genealogy of the Holy War Strength + Might In this game, bonus damage works differently and is not part of this calculation.
Thracia 776 Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) --
The Binding Blade Strength + [(Might + Weapon triangle bonus) × Effectiveness] + Support bonus --
The Blazing Blade Strength + [(Might + Weapon triangle bonus) × Effectiveness] + Support bonus For the Light Brand* and Runesword: Strength / 2
The Sacred Stones Strength + [(Might + Weapon triangle bonus) × Effectiveness] + Support bonus For the Light Brand* and Runesword: Strength / 2
Path of Radiance Strength + [(Might + Weapon triangle bonus) × Effectiveness] + Support bonus When using ballistae, strength = 0
Radiant Dawn Strength + [(Might + Weapon triangle bonus) × Effectiveness] + Support bonus When using ballistae or crossbows, strength = 0
Shadow Dragon Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) + Weapon triangle bonus + Weapon level bonus --
New Mystery of the Emblem Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) + Weapon triangle bonus + Weapon level bonus --
Awakening Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) + Weapon triangle bonus + Weapon level bonus --
Fates Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) + Weapon triangle bonus + Weapon level bonus --
Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Base Attack + (Might × Effectiveness) + (Combat art might × Effectiveness) Base Attack is not increased by any equipped weapons.
Three Houses Strength + (weapon Might × Effectiveness) + Combat art might + Crest effect bonus --
Engage Strength + (Might × Effectiveness) --

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.
