Melee attacks are the only way to interact with the [[Sinner's Sacrifice]] and will cause 60 retaliation damage.
Performing a melee attack will decrease the player's speed shortly after. The amount of speed decreased varies between heroes, and additionally varies depending on if a light or heavy melee is used. The speed decrease can be mitigated through items that give resistance to [[Movement Slow|movement slow]] effects, such as {{ItemIcon|Fleetfoot}} and {{ItemIcon|Enduring Speed}}.
Melee attacks will interrupt [[Reload Time|reloading]] when performed. Light melee attacks (with the exception of {{HeroIcon|Billy}}'s) instantly freeze the reload timer on use, while heavy melee attacks will instead freeze the reload timer once the attacking hero begins lunging.
