Dragonwilds:Attack

Attack is one of the 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 Attack Skill Tomes or from special reward tomes like the Dragonwilds:Tome of the Dragon Slayer.

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 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 (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 status effect

Boosts

Players can consume Dragonwilds:potions, eat Dragonwilds: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
• Unholy symbol - Increases all damage by 15% while lowering maximum HP by 15 points.
• Amulet of glory - Increases critical damage to all combat style

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.
