ATTACK

Attack is a player's accuracy in melee combat. As a player raises their Attack level, they can deal damage more consistently as well as wield weapons of stronger materials. In order to gain experience in the Attack stat, players must choose the accurate attack style. While using the style, players gain an invisible +3 attack bonus.

ATTACK BONUSES

Some weapons give players Attack bonuses when using certain attack types. These bonuses are noted in the Equipment Stats section of the equipment menu. Attack bonuses give players advantages as well as disadvantages in melee combat, based on their target's strengths and weaknesses.

Attack type	Suitable weapons
Stab	Daggers, swords, longswords, and pickaxes.
Slash	Swords, longswords, axes, scimitars, battleaxes, and two-handed swords.
Crush	Maces, battleaxes, warhammers, pickaxes, axes, and two-handed swords.
