Editing Melee Attack (section)

== Heavy Melee Cancel ==
'''Heavy Melee Cancel''' is a technique that allows you to interrupt a Heavy Melee attack by using specific [[Active Items]] or [[Abilities]]. This is particularly useful for melee-focused builds, as it can bait enemies into wasting their [[Parry]].
