'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is one of the three main [[Combat]] styles, alongside {{Skill|Ranged}} and {{Skill|Magic}}. Unlike the other two, Melee has separate skills for increasing Accuracy and Damage ({{Skill|Attack}} and {{Skill|Strength}} respectively) instead of them being combined into a single skill. As melee armor requires {{Skill|Defence}} levels to wear while most Ranged and Magic armor requires only levels in the appropriate skill, leveling Defence is also more important to Melee than any other style. | {{V}} | ||

===Attack Styles=== | |||
Melee has three attack styles: Stab, Slash, and Block. Each has a separate attack bonus stat associated with it, and most melee weapons have different bonuses for different styles. This means that a given melee weapon will be most accurate when used in certain styles. For example, the {{ItemIcon|Ragnar Godsword}} has a +125 Slash Bonus but a -4 Stab Bonus, making it substantially more accurate when using the Slash attack style than it is when using Stab. | |||
In addition to having different bonuses, each attack style provides XP to a different skill: | |||
* Stab provides {{Skill|Attack}} XP | |||
* Slash provides {{Skill|Strength}} XP | |||
* Block provides {{Skill|Defence}} XP | |||
Aside from changing which attack bonus is used and which skill gains xp, the different melee attack styles do not have any unique bonuses. | |||
