What is CS in Tower of Fantasy?

When you open your character’s profile in Tower of Fantasy, you can see a list of stats that shows the relevant strengths (and sometimes weaknesses) of your current character build. One stat sits above all others, abbreviated as CS. This stands for ‘Combat Strength’ and in essence determines the combat readiness of your character against the surrounding threats of the world. It is an aggregate score of all your stats and gear, similar in function to such scores in other games — for example, total iLevel in World of Warcraft comes to mind. This usually means that the higher you can get your CS score, the better your character will perform.

Then there are some PVE dungeons scattered throughout the game, which have CS score recommendations before players (or groups) even set foot in them.
