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).
