Melee attacks are close-combat attacks performed with melee weapons - swords, axes, hammers, daggers, and scythes. Melee attack can refer to either a normal attack made with a melee weapon or a specific type of skill performed with melee weapons. Melee attacks have the same damage type as the weapon used to perform them.

  • A melee attack is performed whenever a character swings a melee weapon at his opponent.
  • As a skill type, melee attacks can be performed with any type of melee weapon. For example, Wild Blow can be performed with a scythe, even though it is a warrior skill. Melee attack skills are a subtype of attack skills. In addition, attack skills specific to a particular melee weapon, such as hammer attacks, are also considered to be melee attack skills.

Many skills will refer to "melee attacks" or "in melee". These skills will affect both normal attacks and attack skills.
