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 also all have the same reach and attack speed. But each has different damage...

Bronze	Dagger	5	1
	Shortsword	6	60
	Battleaxe	7	120
	Longsword	8	200
Iron	Dagger	9	300
	Shortsword	10	450
	Battleaxe	11	650
	Longsword	12	800
Steel	Dagger	13	1200
	Shortsword	14	1500
	Battleaxe	15	1800
	Longsword	16	2200

Adamantite*	Dagger	21	~9000
	Shortsword	22	~10000

*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 DPS and 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.

Battleaxe - Has a two swing combo that can push back enemies alongside hitting multiple targets at once.

- No special ability

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

- No special ability

Additionally, there are Legendary Swords.

Melee Armor

Most armours can be bought in the town shop or as drops from the various bosses. Heavy Plate Armour can only be earned from a legendary pedestal or as a rare boss drop.
