How str works with abilities

pretty straight forward, I get how str works with basic attacks, but what about abilities? like if my bash is like 300 attk and my str is 300 does it only do 600? like if my earth wave skill says 1500attk and my str is 300 does it only do 1800??

any clarifcation wud help, thanks

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that it depends on the ability. Sadly there isn’t a lot of info out, so it’s going to require a lot of testing on the players’ behalves.

STR needs a buff. 20 characters

no it does not. 20 chars

Yeah it definely needs.

basically every ability except dex doesn’t scale, even if you did go full dex, you will need str for crit attack, if str needs a buff then every stat needs a buff too.

There’s a few skills Scaling with Str, like Stone Bullet from Quarrel Shooter with 150% of your base damage + Skill Dmg
/20twenty

…and the critical attack from strength is useless without the crit rate from dex. I’m not saying strength needs to be buffed, but with dexterity you get bonuses to 3 good stats. It’s not bad.

yet swordsman classes except fencer and shinobi go 2:1:1 str dex con.
no str is kinda useless since mobs have crit resistance

The point of STR in skills is in attributes. On max it will deal +100% of damage, including skill damage + str bonus + weapon bonus so basically doubling your STR.

Also, you get +10% of STR every class circle. Yes, you get free +60% on circle 7.

Also many swordman skill hit multiple times -> applying the STR bonus multiple tiems.
But in general yes, if the skill base damage is already high, STR doesn’t effect it much.

I remember people mentioning stop adding dex when it’s 200, since mobs have pretty high crit resist at end game.
