What Is Attack Power?
Weapon's Stat That Determines Damage
A weapon's attack power stat determines the overall damage of your weapon. The attack power changes depending on the weapon, its rarity & type.
Higher Attack Power Increases Weapon's Offensive Power
The higher the attack power is, the higher the damage you can cause on a monster. Do note however that even with a high attack power, your overall damage per second can still be affected by the weapon type.
How To Raise Your Attack Power Stat
