Each of those "greys" are actually dithered 1-bit patterns

I think that's just how it's rendered by default - but really the greys are stored at every resolution, so you need 4-bits per pixel.

Plus the app also preserves the difference between 'not drawn' and 'actively drawn in black', so that's another bit needed for 5-bits.

Notice that when you save the image you really get shades of grey and transparent - not dithering.

The greys are stored at every resolution? What do you mean?

The web page states:

16-'color' palette via dither patterns. Each pattern is treated as a separate color for fill tool

However, I suspect this is the bit (no pun intended) you're missing:

save images as a 16-color greyscale (which will import back into Strike with all patterns intact), or as 1-bit black and white image

Weird. Better to screenshot than
