Strength

Strength is the prowess of melee weapons and fighting skills.

Description
Strength improves combat with hand-to-hand weapons. Though Hovernyan mostly uses his own paws for combat. As year goes by, strength is no longer said and is now known as melee.

Brutal Styles
Brutal Styles unlocks special moves for close combat. There are 4 styles.


 * 1) Blocking - Blocking attacks is a good way to not get hurt. But because of simplistic combat, life stealing augmentations, healing potions and foods, blocking is pointless. If either Gutsy Cross Judgement Infern o or Venus's Night Cross Claw, or even Extreme Soultimates are used, then the enemy cannot block it.
 * 2) Flourishes - When flourishing, a hero can strike with a slash.
 * 3) Chain Attacks - A hero can strike very powerfully in each slash.
 * 4) Reversals - Hovernyan masters it, only if he is really mad. When the enemy attacks, Hovernyan will counter it, causing the enemy to spin around, he shove the weapon through the back of the enemies skull and out their mouth with one-handed weapons and a decapitation will occur with two-handed weapons.

Physique
The stronger the physique, the more damage the hero can cause with close combat weapons or in Hovernyan's case, paws.

Toughness
A tougher hero can withstand more damage before falling in battle.
