Augment STR is a Passive Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Description[]
Augment STR passively increases the player's STR, allowing them to deal more damage with melee weapons. As such, it is a Shard that is worth acquiring for most character builds. A higher Rank increases the player's attack speed, and a higher Grade (i.e., more copies collected) will further increase the player's physical damage output. As such, it is a shard that is well worth upgrading to both Rank 9 and Grade 9; the latter which is advisable to do after acquiring the Solomon's Ring to make its shards to spawn more frequently. This shard is dropped by Gaap in the Oriental Sorcery Lab, so it can only be acquired in the late game. An easy to farm Gaap spawns just outside the Warp Room of this area.
