'''Attack''' is one of the ten [[Dragonwilds:Skills]] in ''Runescape: Dragonwilds'' and is one of the three combat styles. Fighting [[Dragonwilds:Monsters]] using melee combat levels a player's Attack to gain various bonuses that enhance their effectiveness with the skill.

Players can either use their unarmed fists or melee weapons while in combat to earn Attack experience. The higher the tier of the weapon, the higher the base damage, and thus the more experience earned. To effectively combat, see [[Dragonwilds:Attack/Strategies]] for more details.

In addition, players can gain experience from [[Dragonwilds:Skill Tome - Attack|Attack Skill Tomes]].

==Equipment==
===Weapons===
[[Dragonwilds:Melee weapons]] are split into two categories: one-handed and two-handed weapons. One-handed weapons allow players to also wield a shield. Some weapons have unique special attacks while some classes of weapons have the same special attack across variants.

=== Shields ===
[[Dragonwilds:Shields]] allow players to [[Dragonwilds:Parry]] while using melee which can apply [[Dragonwilds:Debuff|debuffs]] to [[Dragonwilds:Monsters]] and reduce the damage received by attacks.

=== Armour ===
Players can earn set bonuses when wearing armour of the same combat type (i.e., melee, ranged, mage) and can mix and match within that type. For example, a player wearing a [[Dragonwilds:Paladin's Helm|Paladin Helm]] (melee), [[Dragonwilds:Green Dragonhide Body]] (ranged), and [[Dragonwilds:White Platelegs]] (melee) will get the second tier of melee set bonuses and the first tier of ranged set bonuses. The melee armour set bonuses are:
* 1/3 -33% block stamina cost
* 2/3 +50% critical chance after blocking
* 3/3 +25% damage to staggered targets

=== Consumables ===
Players can consume certain crafted materials to receive a temporary boost to damage or allow their melee attacks to apply [[Dragonwilds:debuffs]] to [[Dragonwilds:Monsters]].

* [[Dragonwilds:Whetstone]] - provides a percentage buff to melee damage

* [[Dragonwilds:Weapon Barbs]] - applies the [[Dragonwilds:Bleed]] status effect
* [[Dragonwilds:Weapon Poison]] - applies the [[Dragonwilds:Poison]] status effect
* [[Dragonwilds:Fire Oil]] - applies the [[Dragonwilds:Burning|Burn]] status effect

== Boosts ==
Players can consume [[Dragonwilds:Potions]], eat [[Dragonwilds:Food|Foods]], or equip [[Dragonwilds:Trinkets]] to increase Attack experience or increase damage and, indirectly, the experience.

* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Attack Potion]] - Increases the chance of landing critical hits with melee by 25% for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Weak Focused Attack Potion]] - Provides a 5% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Lesser Focused Attack Potion]] - Provides a 5% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Sweet Veg Ball]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Wild Pie]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Inspiring Amulet of Attack]] - Provides a 5% XP boost while worn
* [[Dragonwilds:Amulet of Strength]] - Increases melee damage by 12.5% while worn

== Experience Calculation ==
Experience is earned based on the amount of damage dealt to an enemy (except for the [[Dragonwilds:Training Dummy]]). If the attack is normal, players will receive 25% of the damage value as Attack experience. If the attack is a critical hit, players will instead receive 50% the damage value as Attack experience.

==Levelling==
''See [[Dragonwilds:experience]] for a table of the experience required to reach each level.''

Levelling Attack grants access to both passive benefits as well as unlocking [[Dragonwilds:Spells]] and other abilities.
