The Strength Drain Aura is a Monk defense that reduces the damage dealt by all enemies inside it (bosses included) to a listed percentage. On PC, it also disables elemental affinities.

This aura is generally not required on Easy/Normal/Hard difficulties where tower health is sufficiently high; there are usually far better uses of 5 Defense Units. On Insane difficulty and above however, this aura can be very helpful in protecting heroes and physical defenses from the stronger monsters, including bosses.

Strength Drain Auras are often combined with Ensnare and Electric Auras to form the widely-used three-aura stack. Because they have less than half the lifespan of the other two auras, frequent repairs may be needed to keep Strength Drains alive.
