Strength

From FFXI Wiki

Abbreviation: STR
Strength is an offensive stat for both melee and ranged attacks.

STR is associated with the Fire element.

Offensive

  • STR directly impacts attack and ranged attack:
  • As of the December 2018 Update[1] Attack derived from Strength is in a 1:1 translation for all main-hand and ranged weapons
  • Attack for off-hand gets cut by half compared to the formula above
  • Strength plays an integral role in physical damage calculations, particularly in the variable: fSTR, whereby the STR of a character is compared to the VIT of its enemy, resulting in a bonus/penalty.
