Strength | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Does strength build made game easier than dex build. Yes, yes it does. Not because of sill needed to play, that's separate discussion I'm not getting involved.
Strengt outside of vitality have best physical defence scaling. Taking less DMG with same fashion is definitely making game easier. In game when 1st hit also guarantee you that you'll have second one having potential to kill in those 2 also made game easier. Because we all know poise is broken in this version. And dispatching oponent is saver than doing chip damage.
All I said is regarding pve, in PvP I believe both sides have equally broken builds that you either go with one of 5 to 10 builds or lose assuming similar skills. Fun PvP is dead with current player pool

Just staggered Sister Friede to death with my axe. I guess that fight is only hard if you are a weaselly dex swordsman.

There's an unnoticed bug with fist weapons (particularly the demon fist) that two handing doesn't apply the ×1.5 bonus to strength. This is on a sl6 deprived with 15 strength. Not sure if that's intentional or what.

EZ mode stat, It's so funny that people think they're good at the game when there play on baby mode...enjoy trivializing 99% of bosses in the game with the amount of stagger, damage, and hyper armor strength weapons have. Pick up a dagger and get to work.

LVLing this stat will make all the undead biches swoon over you.

60 str vs 66 str, which is better?

The best thing about strength in my opinion is that after you have beaten vordt and acquired his soul then you only need to punch the Tree boss and after that you change the soul to his great hammer and holy molly i love building strength and hammering on bosses with Vordt's Great Hammer! Its just sooo much fun to have a really strong weapon early on in the game.

So many dex soyboys in the comment section.

Lvling this will allow you to enforce your heterosexuality and attract opposite gender.

“dEx Is FoR sCrUbS”

Says the guys with 10 miles of phantom range and infinite hyper armor lmao. Y’all cry about r1 spamming with straight swords and the PKCS but it’s 10 times more annoying with your unparriable Ledo’s and dragonslayer greataxe.

Thank God for the Astora Greatsword. It let’s me delete your brain dead weapons with my equally brain dead weapon. From using a dex build I have 2 brain cells instead the 1 you guys have lol.

Once you hit the soft cap for strength, do weapons that scale with strength also get diminishing damage returns with each level?

Submit

Went for a strength build recently. It almost felt like cheating with how badly I was wrecking every enemy and nearly every enemy and boss in the game. Not that I'm complaining as my strength build was my 3rd playthrough which made it a very cathartic one :)

Submit

Maybe I missed this, but whenever I kick shields on a strength build vs a dex build, the strength build seems to do more stamina damage. Can anyone confirm if strength is better for shield breaking?

Submit

Why even have a strength requirement so low that youll never be under it unless you have a modded stat character? How am i supposed to ever get to the point where a 3 strength limit would ever factor into my game whatsoever?

Submit

Does it really increase your characters muscle size the further up you level it or is it just not true?

Submit

is there like a general increase in damage with lvling up str

Submit

Since all greatbows normally need both hands to use effectively, you do not need the exact STR stat

Fatty hammer

Proof that Stormruler is*****tiest DS3 weapon: it’s the only physical weapon that needs 0 strength

Don't trust in Scaling letters! Yhorm's Machete has the best scaling between 27 to 66 2-handed (590 to 707 AR). It gives you a total of +20% AR for 39 extra points investment. It's not much per point, however it will passively increase your physical resistance, which is a nice addition (you will take around 10% less damage). 66 STR is definetly worth for PvE purposes.

two-handing multiplies damage by 1.5 youtube.com/watch?v=0xeGE_5kSI0

Hey I’m curious about how some weapons I can use two handed but not in one had because my strength is too low, but that doesn’t work with some other weapons where my strength is too low.

Submit

Recieve 0.75 physical def up until 29 then 1 phys def from 29 to 85 then 0.4 phys def after 85.

50 strength worked fine with me using a millwood axe with heavy infusion that has only strength scaling... dont know if its worth going 60 or 66 for huge hammers though.. i prefered to level up attunement and some other stats to let me use some buffing spells

Submit

For anyone wondering : When two-handing a weapon, the Knight's ring buff does not count during the multiplication. So let's say if you have 10 strength, when two handing your strength will become 10*1.5= 15 and then the ring's bonus will be added on top : so you will deal damage equivalent to someone with 20 strength. (Not 15*1.5=22.5, as some may have hoped).

Submit

40 str is enough for any melee build. Going anyfurther should only be done to hold a higher str req weapon never go above 60! 60 to 66 are 6 pts you could put to vitality, faith, vigor and endurance.

Submit

Strength above 50 is a waste people who spend 16 levels to go from 50 to 66 in order to 2 hand a weapong as if they had 99 str which hardly gives weapons 30 AR more could add 16pt of vitality or vigor or endurance maybe get some faith pts anything is better than a 30AR increase.

Submit

added 0 strength weapons

I'm a wizard! But I need to know whether not meeting a staff's str requirement will hurt its power.

Submit

if u wanna use a high strength weapon but dont have the stats, use the knight's ring

Submit

Two-handing to reduce the requirement does not work for Demons Fist.

Submit

Is 66 Strength the hard cap for two handing?

Submit

Do weapons still scale up to 40? Does infusion impact this? If so, in a pos. or neg. direction?

Submit

does leveling strength make your attacks faster with heavier weapons?

Submit

Zuta u are talking about dual wielding right

Submit

Does 2 handing a weapon that has double the strength you use on the weapon. For example: weapon requires 30str, but you only have 15str. 2 handing would enable you to properly use the weapon. Does this rule still work/fallow?
