Melee Weapons encompass all close combat weapons in Remixed Dungeon that are used to attack adjacent enemies. This category includes swords, maces, axes, and other close-range armaments.

Melee weapons are the primary combat tools for most hero classes, especially Warriors, Gladiators, and other melee-focused subclasses. They offer various trade-offs between damage, speed, and special effects.

• Swords: Sword, Long Sword, Great Sword, Elven Sword
• Axes: Hand Axe, Battle Axe
• Maces: Mace, War Hammer
• Daggers: Dagger, Kunai
• Polearms: Spear, Glaive
• Blunt: Quarterstaff, Knuckles

• Range: All melee weapons attack adjacent tiles only
• Damage Formula: Based on weapon tier, upgrades, and hero strength
• Speed: Each weapon has a delay factor affecting attack speed
• Accuracy: Affects the chance to successfully hit an opponent

Melee weapons are organized by tier, which affects base stats and strength requirements:

• Tier 1: Knuckles, Sai (lowest damage, lowest STR requirement)
• Tier 2: Dagger, Staff, Mages Staff
• Tier 3: Sword, Mace, Short Sword, Hand Axe, Spear, Quarterstaff
• Tier 4: Long Sword, Battle Axe, War Hammer, Glaive
• Tier 5: Great Sword, Gauntlets
• Tier 6: Dwarven Hammer, Great Maul
• Tier 7: Elven Sword (highest damage, highest STR requirement)

Some melee weapons have special properties:

• Two-handed: Some weapons like the Great Sword require two hands to wield
• Versatile: Quarterstaff can be used one-handed or two-handed
• Special Mechanics: Some weapons have unique properties or effects

• Choose weapons that match your hero's strength level
• Early game: Lower tier weapons are easier to use due to lower STR requirements
• Late game: Higher tier weapons provide more damage output
• Consider weapon speed vs. damage based on your fighting style
• Pair with appropriate armor for tanking or dual-wielding for DPS
