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 lunge forward without using up any of the player's [[Stamina]] and do more damage; however, the amount a player can turn is reduced during the attack animation. Compared to a normal [[Mechanics#Movement |dash]] using one Stamina bar, a heavy melee attack lunge travels the player approximately half of the distance. Charging the melee attack can also be done in the air. The default keybind for melee attacks is <code>Q</code>. Pressing <code>Q</code> triggers a light melee attack, while holding initiates a heavy melee attack. | Every hero can perform a '''melee attack''' to quickly finish off an enemy or do damage while reloading.

You can parry [[Troopers]] (blocks damage and stuns them, but doesn't reset parry cooldown and doesn't end parry early) and [[Guardians]] (blocks damage and prevents them from attacking for a short period; parried Guardian will not attempt another melee attack for a short while). You cannot normally parry [[Walker|Walkers]] or most abilities, with an exception of {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|Puddle Punch}}. | You can parry [[Troopers]] (blocks damage and stuns them, but doesn't reset parry cooldown and doesn't end parry early) and [[Guardians]] (blocks damage and prevents them from attacking for a short period; parried Guardian will not attempt another melee attack for a short while).
