Strohl is one of the earliest followers that players recruit in Metaphor ReFantazio. He's a young man from the Clemar tribe who has a strong sense of justice and hails from a noble family. Strohl plays the role of a DPS character in a squad specializing in physical attacks, specifically slash attacks. Hence, his build will also be focused on enhancing his damage output with the right skills and equipment.
Players unlock Strohl when venturing into the Nord Mines in Metaphor ReFantazio. Unlocking his level 1 follower bond rank will also get you his Warrior Archetype, which dishes out a lot of damage to your enemies.

Strohl will do devastating damage with this equipment in his build in Metaphor ReFantazio. He'll not only dish out damage himself, but will also be able to boost the damage for other party members as well as reinforce their defense stats.
However, some enemies might do severe damage to him since he's a bit squishy due to an entirely DPS-focused build. So, try to strategize his play within the party and support him from other characters for maximum efficiency. The longer he stays in the battle, the worse the enemy's defenses will become.
