Strength

Strength is the measure of your character's physical power, if you choose the Dream Sword during Sora's Awakening in Kingdom Hearts, or the Struggle Sword during Roxas's Awakening in Kingdom Hearts II, your Strength will be given a boost. The item, Power Up in Kingdom Hearts and Strength Boost in Kingdom Hearts II, is capable of increasing this stat, along with the Strength status of most weapons. Strength also increases as the character progresses up the level table.

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.
