How much is knight damage effected by strength? Right now I'm considering a damage faeling with 13 strength I was wondering if my damage would be nerfed or not?

If I understand knight damage correctly, it will be very small.

Strength heavily impacts damage, so the speed and high dexterity of a Faeling would be better suited to causing deep wounds in your opponents, rather than delivering large amounts of damage.

14+ in any stat is usually considered 'good'.

You'll find that most damage knights go over 20 strength. Less than that makes them rather ineffective. Also, artifact elemental damage runes are a necessity for the build, which will run you 700 credits total for both of your weapons.

If these are prohibitive, you're better off trying out a wounding build, which doesn't need runes to function.
