Should I level up Strength or skill in Bloodborne?

You should level Strength or Skill depending on your weapon choice, as Skill boosts faster weapons and Visceral attacks, while Strength favors slower, heavier weapons, but many great weapons scale with both (Quality builds), so aiming for ~25 in both early on lets you use most weapons before specializing around level 50. Skill offers higher potential for visceral damage, while Strength provides more rally and stagger, making Skill generally favored by many for its versatility and critical damage.
