🗡️ Attack Buff

The Attack Buff is a temporary effect in Stardew Valley that increases the player’s melee damage. While active, it boosts the strength of swords, daggers, and clubs, allowing enemies to be defeated faster and with fewer hits. This buff is especially useful when exploring dangerous levels of the Mines or Skull Cavern.

Like all buffs, Attack Buffs do not stack — consuming a new one replaces the previous effect.
