Possess Strength
Buff
When killed, return all stolen Strength to the player.
The Lost applies Possess Strength to itself when it joins the fight. Its Debilitating Smog drains 2 Strength from each player and adds 2 to itself, and the power keeps a ledger of how much Strength each player lost to it. When the Lost dies, every player gets back their full stolen amount in one lump.

What the ledger tracks
The ledger only counts negative Strength applied by the Lost, so Strength lost to a potion or another monster is never refunded, and the Strength the Lost gains for itself is not undone by its death.
Because the refund arrives after the kill, dropping the Lost first in its pairing with The Forgotten restores your damage for the rest of the fight, while the Forgotten's Possess Speed does the same for Dexterity.
Its Eye Lasers hit twice, so its stolen Strength counts double.
