Strength is a player's power in melee combat. As a player raises their Strength level, they can deal more damage against opponents. A high Strength level is often favoured by players over their Attack level because it raises max hit, helping to deal more damage compared to training Attack or Defence.
Combat Style[edit | edit source]
In order to gain experience in Strength, players must choose the aggressive attack style. Fighting aggressively grants players an invisible +3 Strength bonus (as detailed below), meaning players will hit for higher levels of damage than they would if they were fighting accurately or defensively.
Levels[edit | edit source]
In order to wield weapons, a certain Strength level requirement must be met. Commonly used items and their corresponding level requirements are as follows:
