Strength
In Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, Strength (often used interchangeably with Power) is a combined stat for your weapon's attacks, increasing its Damage, Impact (stagger value), and Cleave (the ability to hit multiple enemies). A higher Strength stat means your weapon hits harder, knocks enemies down more effectively, and can pass through more targets.
Here's a breakdown of what Strength influences:
Damage: Increases the raw damage your weapon deals to a target.
Impact: Increases the Stagger value of your attacks, making enemies more susceptible to being stunned or knocked down.
Cleave: Improves your weapon's ability to hit and pass through multiple enemies with a single attack.
In essence, Strength is a measure of your weapon's overall effectiveness, combining its destructive and crowd-control potential into a single, potent attribute.
