Melee DamageGive feedback
Melee Damage is a stat that Heroes start with and determines how much damage a hero's Melee Attack deals. Melee damage scales with Boons 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 (see table below).

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