Melee Weapon

Melee Weapons are a category of weapons in Remixed Dungeon that are used for close combat. These weapons typically have different damage, speed, and accuracy characteristics that differentiate them from ranged weapons.

Melee Weapons are used to attack enemies in adjacent tiles. They form the core of most heroes' combat capabilities and come in various types with different statistics and properties.

All melee weapons inherit from the base class:

• MeleeWeapon.java

• Range: Adjacent tiles only (melee range)
• Damage Types: Varies by weapon type (slashing, crushing, piercing)
• Speed: Varies by weapon (affects attack speed)
• Accuracy: Varies by weapon (affects hit chance)
• Strength Requirement: Each weapon has a STR requirement that must be met to use it effectively

• Minimum Damage: Tier value (MIN = tier)
• Maximum Damage: Calculated as (tier * tier - tier + 10) / ACU * DLY
• Speed: Delay factor (DLY), lower is faster
• Accuracy: Accuracy factor (ACU), affects chance to hit

• Swords - Balanced weapons with good stats
• Maces - Blunt weapons effective against armored foes
• Daggers - Fast but low damage piercing weapons
• War Hammer - High damage crushing weapon with high STR requirement
• Long Sword - High damage but slow weapon
• Knuckles - Fast weapon with moderate damage

Melee weapons are organized into tiers:

• Tier 1: Knuckles, Sai
• Tier 2: Dagger, Staff, Mages Staff
• Tier 3: Sword, Mace, Short Sword, Hand Axe, Spear, Quarterstaff
• Tier 4: Long Sword, Battle Axe, War Hammer, Glaive
• Tier 5: Great Sword, Gauntlets
• Tier 6: Dwarven Hammer, Great Maul
• Tier 7: Elven Sword

• Upgrading: Can be upgraded with Scrolls of Upgrade
• Enchantments: Compatible with weapon enchantments
• Strength Calculation: Required STR is typically 8 + tier * 2 for un-upgraded weapons

• Base implementation: MeleeWeapon.java
• String resources: Melee weapon strings
