+====== Melee Weapons ======
+**Melee Weapons** encompass all close combat weapons in Remixed Dungeon that are used to attack adjacent enemies. This category includes swords, maces, axes, and other close-range armaments.
+==== Overview ====
+Melee weapons are the primary combat tools for most hero classes, especially Warriors, Gladiators, and other melee-focused subclasses. They offer various trade-offs between damage, speed, and special effects.

+  * **Speed:** Each weapon has a delay factor affecting attack speed
+  * **Accuracy:** Affects the chance to successfully hit an opponent
+==== Tier System ====
+Melee weapons are organized by tier, which affects base stats and strength requirements:
+  * **Tier 1:** Knuckles, Sai (lowest damage, lowest STR requirement)

+  * **Two-handed:** Some weapons like the Great Sword require two hands to wield
+  * **Versatile:** Quarterstaff can be used one-handed or two-handed
+  * **Special Mechanics:** Some weapons have unique properties or effects
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Choose weapons that match your hero's strength level
+  * Early game: Lower tier weapons are easier to use due to lower STR requirements
+  * Late game: Higher tier weapons provide more damage output
+  * Consider weapon speed vs. damage based on your fighting style
+  * Pair with appropriate armor for tanking or dual-wielding for DPS
