Strength

From the Pantheon Wiki

Strength determines your maximum hit in melee combat, making it the most impactful stat for raw DPS. Every 5-10 Strength levels noticeably increases your max hit with the same weapon. Trained via the Aggressive combat style or Controlled style for slower but balanced gains.

Pantheon notes: Prioritise Strength early to maximise damage for bossing. Nightmare Zone is the best pure Strength XP per hour via Overload-boosted damage on quest bosses. Slayer tasks from Nieve or Duradel combine well since you deal more damage per kill with higher Strength, speeding up tasks.
