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

*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 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.
Additionally, there are Legendary Swords.
