*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.
