Strength Support is the Soulhacker Skill obtained from Killhappy Brijaidor in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It increases the strength of buffs issued by the user.
Overview[edit]
Strength Support is a must-have skill. It is a major contributor to why the Soulhacker's party support capabilities are the best in the game; no other class gets access to a buff-strength-increasing effect, except for Swelling Blessing (which Soulhackers can also use). It is not wasted on them either; Soulhackers can easily provide the party with a multitude of powerful buffs, especially:
Fast Recharge and 
Critical Hit Plus (from Desperate Charge)
Attack Up and 
Critical Rate Up (from Battle Pheromone)
Power Charge (from Dragon Decree)
Defense Up (from Butterfly Dust)
Strength Support means all of these can be made as strong as possible.
For healer/support Soulhacker builds, using this skill is a no-brainer. For attacker builds, it is still very arguably worth giving up a skill slot for; Battle Pheromone, Desperate Charge, and Dragon Decree together increase damage by so much that they will often make an offensive Soulhacker deal more damage than if those slots were taken up by directly offensive Arts. The exception is if there is already a supporting Soulhacker in the party with Strength Support which can provide the buffs consistently.
A Soulhacker with Strength Support can consistently keep full uptime on almost all of the above buffs, as long as they are consistently used as part of Fusion Arts (due to the double-duration effect on most of the above Arts). Power Charge, however, cannot be so easily kept up, because it is consumed instantly upon using an Art. It may therefore be beneficial to have a character with Resonant Flag and no offensive Arts in the party, who can receive the extra-strength Power Charge and then continuously resupply it to the rest of the party.
