Melee Damage

Melee Damage is a stat that Heroes start with and determines how much damage a hero's Melee Attack deals. Melee damage scales with Levels and Items. Melee damage scales with the Weapon Damage stat at a rate of 50%.

Most heroes have the same base melee damage and scaling, with a few exceptions:

• Ivy has lower base damage and lower scaling for both light and heavy melee;
• Pocket has higher base damage for light melee and lower scaling for heavy melee;
• Yamato has higher base damage for both light and heavy melee and higher scaling for heavy melee.
