How do you increase your physical damage in Dragonfire?

Physical damage 🩸 is raised by the attacker's Strength and reduced by the defender's Instinct. It's confirmed word for word on every Order.

So you have two levers:

1. Raise your Strength (the Might of Valyria research, Warrior auras like Warrior's Zeal at +16% physical damage, the Warrior breed itself).
2. Break the enemy's Instinct — often the better deal, since it multiplies the physical damage of your WHOLE team at once. In game, Jagadrix and the Warriors' Battle Rush both cut enemy Instinct.

A typical physical army: Rhysarion at the Center for the aura, Daemoros (Shadowflame, +125%) and Thunderstrike on the flanks, and a Taunt tank (Vaeldra or Vhagar) to soak. Stack Bleed too: it adds +20% physical damage per round.
