Strength

Strength is a combat-related skill that significantly increases the damage dealt to NPCs and other players when using melee weapons. It plays a key role in determining your Max Hit—the highest possible damage you can deal in a single melee attack.

Training Strength also grants experience toward your Hitpoints, contributing to your overall Combat Level as well.

In HighSpell, combat loosely follows a "combat triangle":

• Melee excels at defeating opponents wearing lightweight gear with lower defensive stats, such as rangers and mages.
• However, melee users must close the distance to deal damage, putting them at greater risk in certain encounters.
• Your Defense stat still plays a vital role in reducing incoming damage regardless of your attack style.
