It was also not suited for deflecting blaster shots as the stance required that the user shift the blade quite a bit to cover his body.

This style was quite destructive, and if a practitioner was presented with an opening, they would almost always land a devastating blow.
It could inflict more damage than the other lightsaber forms of its time which, coupled with its range, made it especially effective against single opponents armed with melee weapons. The strong style was based primarily on wide, powerful strikes to batter through an opponent's defenses, sacrificing speed for unrivaled power.
