Force is a sort of catch all stat that boosts your characters unique playstyle. There is no one single thing that it does, and the level up prompt calls that out.

Force will affect each character differently so it’s worth taking that extra time during the start of the run to look. Here are a few quick examples of how force impacts specific character:
- Swordsman: Increases knockback from the swordsman’s main attack.
- Archer: Increases piercing for the bow.

In addition to force it also tells you how other stats, such as range and area, will modify your character. Additionally, force can also affect different items you collect as well, giving them larger bonuses to their abilities.
