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 | |||
Each attack style also provides +6 hidden levels in the respective skill. Hidden levels are functionally identical to normal levels for all accuracy, damage, and evasion calculations, but do not count towards item equip requirements. Using the Block attack style at {{Skill|Defence}} Level 54 would not allow the player to equip a {{ItemIcon|Dragon Platebody}} | |||
