Melee

There are five melee weapon tiers. Each scaling in strength, from weakest to strongest, there is Bronze, Iron, Steel, Mithril, and Adamantite.

All basic melee types and tiers can be purchased in town (except adamantite and mithril), they all have comparable strength within their material tier, but each type operates differently.

Bronze	Dagger	1
	Shortsword	100
	Battleaxe	110
	Longsword	120
	Spear	110
Iron	Dagger	400
	Shortsword	410
	Battleaxe	420
	Longsword	430
	Spear	420
Steel	Dagger	1500
	Shortsword	1550
	Battleaxe	1600
	Longsword	1650
	Spear	1600
Mithril*	Dagger	5000
	Shortsword	5100
	Battleaxe	5200
	Longsword	5300
	Spear	5200
Adamantite*	Dagger	9000
	Shortsword	9100
	Battleaxe	9200
	Longsword	9300
	Spear	9200

*Mithril and Adamantite isn't purchasable in town and is a rare drop from bosses/minibosses or shops on lower floors.

After the 1.2 update was released, all of the melees were reworked to have special abilities when used in conjunction with melee-type armour alongside having unique characteristics. These abilities do not tap into the player's "special attack energy".

Dagger - Has the highest base DPS and fastest equip time, but lacks range.

- Shoots 3 daggers. Damage is based on material tier.

Shortsword - still remains the same but has equip animation which lasts for ~1.5 seconds

- Hold out a shield which will block all incoming projectiles, and slightly reduces incoming melee damage.

Battleaxe - Wide swing deals lower damage but cleaves all enemies in a wide arc, pushing them away. Downswing hits only one enemy but deals much greater damage.

- Can dash forwards towards enemies.

Longsword - Has the longest equip time but also has the largest range.

- Attacking near the edge of its range will deal extra bonus damage.

Spear - Has a long equip time and cannot hit targets at point blank, but can hit targets at a distance. Very high range for melee.

- Can dash backwards away from enemies.

Additionally, there are Legendary Swords.
