Strength is a primary character statistic in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Henry's Strength stat shows how well he handles physical tasks. The current Strength level can be seen in the Player window below the character. It can also be seen on the Stats tab where players will see a breakdown of the actual level and any buffs that may increase it.
Description[]
"Strength defines how well a character can handle physical challenges. The more Strength, the less depletion of stamina when wielding heavy weapons (most weapons except daggers and sabres) and the more powerful your attacks. Each level up of Strength also significantly increases the capacity of your inventory, as well as influencing how fast you can sprint with a heavy load. Strength is increased primarily by combat.
You get Strength perk points at every other level up."
