Editing Melee Damage

{{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: 

* [[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.

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

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
