Introduction

Striking Strength is the amount of physical force an individual can deal out in a single strike. In other words, it is the physical Attack Potency of an individual. It may or may not depend on Lifting Strength.

Striking strength describes the power behind the character’s physical blows. Generally, anything that has to do with the character’s actions instead of passively holding up weights is about this category. While lifting strength is a static value which can be measured in units of weight or mass, striking strength is different. It relies more on “action” which is a combination of speed and mass. As such, striking strength requires a whole different classification system.

For more specific information regarding the meaning of the terms, see our Attack Potency and Tiering System pages.

Please note that Striking Strength doesn't automatically scale from Attack Potency unless there are Feats suggesting otherwise. For example, if a character used their strongest energy blast to vaporize a city, it would only scale to their physical strength if they were able to harm opponents that can withstand the aforementioned energy blast, or vice-versa.

Following the same convention as Attack Potency, a "+" sign is used as "Mountain level+", not "Mountain+ level".

Notes

Before 2017, striking strength used to be measured and named based on abbreviated Joule values of [KJ/MJ/BJ, etc.] Class, which we changed in 2017 to align with the Attack Potency and Tiering System ratings. We also more recently changed the word "Class" to "level" in 2022 to mirror the other ratings perfectly to make it easier to edit and keep track of. Higher levels have consistently been named in adjectives ending an "-al" or "-ic" such as Galactic or Universal; those have also been changed to Galaxy level and Universe level, respectively.

If you encounter a page that was accidentally overlooked, and still uses a different system than the one listed above, we would appreciate the help to correct it. You can do so by following the instructions in this blog post.

We also had problems with accurately converting pages with different striking strength and attack potency statistics. If you encounter pages with either unknown or too high striking strength ratings, you can start a thread in our content revision forum board in order to correct it.

If you notice pages, featuring physically oriented characters, with comparable attack potency and striking strength values, but the former includes an "At least", "Likely", "Possibly", or "+" sign, and the second does not, it is also appreciated if you can help out by including this in the striking strength statistics.

-The plus sign for Striking Strength works differently than the one for [[Attack Potency]]. It simply means that it is the highest tier that is relevant for a particular character. For example, Class KJ+ means "Wall level", and "Class ZJ+" means "Large Country level".
