[Online Mode] Melee weapons

[indigo marsh]

Is there a spreadsheet or a video comparing melee weapons?

[tiny pawn]

have you looked at the comprehensive guide in #1061693442092183592 ?

[indigo marsh]

Yes, I have. I didn't see anything about melee weapons -- besides from it giving +HP exp and ability cards that are related to it.

Most melees require 2-3 hits to kill an npc

Depends if you get them in the vital points, then it'll be one

[indigo marsh]

Yeah, I think there's a certain range that will trigger a vital/execute from the front side.

The problem with that is determining when to attack after you've done sprinting toward the target.

And I wonder if animation also plays a factor. Because people said they notice the hammer getting 1-hit more often than the other melee weapons, but the hammer has the same range as the other nin-throwable melee weapons.

[lunar coral]

Knives and hammers take 3 hits I think? While axes and machetes take like 2

[indigo marsh]

I think so, but you can 1-hit in some cases.

[lunar coral]

Yea, no stealth and just rushing give the 2-3 hits, but at a certain angle or in stealth you can one shot with most melees

Can you one shot with a hammer though?

[indigo marsh]

You can 1-hit without stealth, at least on the NPCs

People said that they can 1-hit with a hammer. But I don't have the trader role yet, so I can't confirm.
