I know this may sound silly, but I thought it would be interesting to
see the results, even if I could assume the answer already.
Could Kraken's Kiss be considered as a "Hand Strike", even at long
range, for the purpose of playing Chiropteran Marauder?
Here we have strength damage that could be considered hand strikes if at
close range, usually (see Blood Rage per example). But the strength
damage is at long ranged this time.

No. No ranged strike could ever be qualified as a Hand Strike. Kraken kiss
is no exception.

I believe I'm right in saying that just because something inflicts
'strength' damage, it does not automatically make it a hand strike. A
hand strike is a strength based, close ranged, non weapon strike or
something to those words.
So, no, you can't aggravate the damage with Chiroptean Marauder.

Correct. A hand strike is, by definition, non-ranged. A ranged strike,
therefore, is not a hand strike.
