Shiren 1 DS:Strength

Strength (Japanese: ちから) is a Stat in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer. It contributes to the attack calculation of Shiren, along with Shiren's Level and Weapon Strength, allowing him to deal more damage to monsters.

Strength is reset to 8/8 at the start of every adventure.
