Strength

Strength is the measure of your character's physical power, if you choose the Dream Sword in the opening sequence of both games, your strength will be given a boost. The item, Strength Boost (or Power Up) is capable of increasing this stat, along with the strength status of most weapons.

The actual strength status of a character determines its overall physical power used to inflict damage to an enemy, the more the strength value the greater the damage inflicted to an enemy. This item can be used the same way as a Defense Boost (or Defense Up).
