Editing Melee DamageGive feedback

{{Plink|Melee Damage|pic=Melee damage|size=32}} is a stat that [[Hero|Heroes]] start with and determines how much damage a hero's [[Melee Attack]] deals. Melee damage scales with [[Boon|Boons]] and [[Item|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 (see table below).

=== Abilities ===
The following abilities scale with light melee damage (unless noted otherwise).

Unlike abilities with [[Spirit|Spirit scaling]], these abilities have no inherent base damage, so their base damage is equal to the light melee damage * melee scaling. E.g. 63 * 1.6 = 101
