Apart from Train Hard, Fight Easy I and II, most perks in the Strength tree are surprisingly not that impactful but still really useful.
The main value of these perks is that they lower the Strength requirement needed for all weapons, making them easier to wield—particularly useful since you start the game with low Strength and leveling up is slow.
You might also want to buy some Tight Grip so that your stealth kills become more reliable, unless you’re going for the honorable knight build.
Best Strength Perks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
| Perk | Description | Level Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Train Hard, Fight Easy! I & II | Reduces Strength requirements for all weapons by 2 (I) and 5 (II). | 6 and 10 |
| Tight Grip | Improves stealth kills and knockout efficiency as Strength increases, needed for stealth/assassin builds. | 10 |
| Hard-Working Lad | Increase carrying capacity by 8lb, halves weight of sacks/bodies and removes stamina cost for carrying them. | 6 |
| Strong as a Bull | Adds 20 lbs to carrying capacity, synergizing with Train Hard perks for inventory-heavy builds. | 12 |
| Grand Slam I & II | Increases blunt weapon damage by 5% each, ideal for mace/warhammer users. | 14 and 18 |
| Heracles | Grants +1 Charisma per 5 Strength levels (max +6), boosting Speech checks and vendor haggling. | 18 |
Tip: Stack Hard-Working Lad, Pack Mule (+12 lbs at Level 8), and Strong as a Bull for +40 lbs total capacity
Without a doubt you need to invest in perks that increase carrying capacity because otherwise, you won’t be able to carry as much loot which means going back and forth between stashes.
This also allows you to steal and sell more items because you can carry more.
On the other hand, you can invest in perks like Train Hard and Vanguard for combat efficiency.
