Strength (STR)

Strength is one of the Attributes in New World MMORPG. It’s one of the main characteristics of a melee warrior because all the melee weapons scale with this attribute. Heavy weapons like Great Axes and War Hammers benefit exclusively from STR, while Swords benefit from both STR and DEX.  

Each point of STR gives your character:

  • +2.5% War Hammer Damage
  • +2% Sword Damage
  • +1.5% Hatchet Damage
