Strength is a stat in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Read on to learn more about Strength as well as how to increase Strength stats in the game.

Strength Stat Explained

Determines a Character's Physical Power

The Strength stat of a character will determine their physical power. This mainly dictates how strong melee attacks hit as well as how much additional life a character gets.

Players can view their Strength stat, as well as other important stats and attributes, from the character screen.

How to Increase Strength

Equip Items with Strength Modifiers

Players can increase their Strength stat by equipping items that have +X to Strength. In addition to weapons and gear, items in your Amulet and Belt slot work particularly well with Strength as this is where you usually get +X to Strength modifiers.

Choose Passive Skills That Boost Strength

Another way players can increase this stat is by selecting passives on the skill tree that increase Strength. Do note that there will be passives that can also have other bonuses on top of the additional Strength stat.
