Strife

Strife icon
Offensive
Increases Melee Weapon Damage. Upon reaching a certain level, increases Melee Weapon Damage for each nearby enemy, up to 3 stacks.

What each level gives you

  1. Lv 4Physical Damage +X%. Magic Damage +X%.
  2. Lv 7Physical Damage +X%. Magic Damage +X%. Physical Damage per stack +X%. Magic Damage per stack +X%.

Each row is everything Strife grants once the affix reaches that level, not what that level adds on its own. A roll below level 4 does nothing at all, and the second effect only appears at level 7. The magnitudes read X because they are not fixed: each one scales with the affix level on the individual roll, so two copies of the same piece can carry very different numbers.

How affixes work

Full guide →

Affixes are the rolled modifiers that sit on weapons and armor. Each piece draws its affixes from an affix library, and an affix's effect scales with its level — so the same affix can be weak on a low roll and build-defining on a high one. Reroll and upgrade affixes with affix gems to push the breakpoints higher. In your inventory Strife sits in the red group — damage rolls that raise what you can kill.

Strife can roll on the following gear:
