Every hero can perform a '''melee attack''' to quickly finish off an enemy or do damage while reloading. [[Melee Damage | Melee damage]] scales with levels and with certain [[items]] like {{ItemIcon|Melee Lifesteal}} and {{ItemIcon|Lifestrike}}. A light melee attack can be charged up to a heavy melee attack to ~~dash~~ forward without using up any of the player's [[Stamina]] and do more damage. Compared to a normal [[Mechanics#Movement |dash]] using one Stamina bar, a heavy melee attack ~~dash~~ travels the player approximately half of the distance. Charging the melee attack can also be done in the air. Performing a melee attack after a successful [[parry]] will 35% more damage, and it will go on cooldown for 0.25s instead of 4.5s. The default keybind for melee attacks is '''Q'''. Pressing '''Q''' triggers a light melee attack, while holding initiates a heavy melee attack.

== Heavy Melee Cancel ==

'''Heavy Melee Cancel''' is a technique that allows you to interrupt a Heavy Melee attack by using specific [[Active Items]] or [[Abilities]]. This is particularly useful for melee-focused builds, as it can bait enemies into wasting their [[Parry]].

[[File:Heavy_Melee_Cancel.mp4|center|800px]]<center>'''Baiting Heavy Melee using Heavy Melee Cancel'''</center>

=== How to Perform ===

To execute a Heavy Melee Cancel, follow these steps:

# Equip an [[Active Items|Active Item]] or select a [[Hero]] with an ability that enables Heavy Melee cancellation.

# Initiate a Heavy Melee attack.

# During the '''lunge phase''', activate the item or ability to cancel the recovery animation while maintaining momentum.
