Strength

Strength (represented by the icon in-game) is an Attribute that grants Health and Health regeneration. For each point of Strength a Hero has, their maximum Hit Points increase by 19, and their health regeneration increases by 0.03 HP per second. Strength Heroes gain additional attack damage for every point of Strength they have.

Strength Heroes

Strength Heroes tend to have more Health and be able to take more damage than other Heroes. Because of this, they often fit into initiator and tank roles. Strength Heroes are almost all Melee Heroes, with the exception of Huskar and Dragon Knight when using Elder Dragon Form. (Phoenix and Guardian Wisp are also ranged strength heroes, but are not yet implemented into Dota 2) At the moment, there are 34 Strength Heroes implemented in Defense of the Ancients, and 20 implemented in Dota 2.

Below is a table of all Heroes with Strength as their primary attribute.
