{{PAGENAME}} involves fighting various [[monsters]] throughout the [[combat areas]], [[slayer areas]], and [[dungeons]] of Melvor. [[Food]] and [[Equipment]] cannot be changed while in a [[dungeon]] unless an [[Dungeon Equipment Swapping|upgrade]] has been purchased from the [[shop]].

== Combat Info ==

== Basic Combat ==

[[Beginners_Guide#Combat_Skills|Combat skills]] are leveled by damaging enemies with weapons, and magic. To train a specific combat skill match the Attack Style icon with the relevant [[Beginners_Guide#Combat_Skills|combat skill]]. The available Attack Styles will change depending on the type of weapon equipped. Most combat skills have a passive effect even when the relevant style is not selected. Weapons, armour, and [[food]] can be equipped for use by selecting them in the [[Bank]]. Weapons and armour provide bonuses and penalties to combat stats, while [[food]] can be used for healing in combat.

All [[monsters]] killed in combat and slayer areas will drop [[Prayer#Bones|bones]] upon death, with a chance for additional [[Monster Loot Tables|loot]] based on the [[Monsters|monster's]] type. The "Drops" option will display the [[Monster Loot Tables|possible loot drops]] a monster can give.

[[Monsters]] fought in [[dungeons]] will not drop loot when killed and do not count towards {{Skill|Slayer}} Tasks. The God Dungeons are an exception to this rule: the shards are rewarded after each killed monster. When the last [[Monsters|monster]] in a [[dungeon]] is killed, the player will be given a [[Dungeons#Dungeon List|reward]] that is sent to the [[Bank]] automatically.

Receiving damage that would bring the player's total {{Skill|Hitpoints}} to 0 or below will cause the player to die. Upon death a random equipment slot is selected, any [[Equipment]] within the selected slot will be lost forever (unless the {{PrayerIcon|Protect Item}} prayer is active). If either ammunition or Summoning tablets are lost, the entire stack - regardless of size - will be forfeited. Only non-[[food]] items that have been equipped in an active slot can be lost upon death.

== Combat Mechanics ==

The first formula is used to calculate the player's Base Combat Level.

--><math>\small{ \begin{aligned} \text{Base Combat Level} = 0.25 \times (\text{Defence Skill Level} + \text{Hitpoints Skill Level} + \lfloor 0.5 \times \text{Prayer Skill Level} \rfloor) \end{aligned}}</math>

Where: <math> \left \lfloor x \right \rfloor </math> is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions floor function].

Stun, also known as freeze, is a status effect that can be inflicted by both players and [[monsters]]. Stun can be applied for a number of turns by a [[Special Attacks|special attack]] or a normal attack by the player if the {{ItemIcon|Fighter Amulet}} is equipped. When an attack applies stun the current attack of the target is interrupted, including special attacks that are in progress. If the target is already stunned, it will not be applied again. When stunned, a stun timer counts down with a period equivalent to the target's attack speed. On completion of the timer the number of stun turns is decreased by one, and the status is removed if the resulting amount is zero. In addition to not being able to attack while stunned, a character cannot evade any attacks.

While a player or monster is asleep, they take 20% more damage.

=== Accuracy Rating ===

! Attack Type !! Attack Style !! Skill Level !! Attack Bonus Stat

| {{Skill|Ranged}} || All || {{Skill|Ranged}} || Ranged attack bonus

<math>\small{\text{Effective Skill Level} = \text{Standard Skill Level} + \text{Hidden Skill Level}}</math>

Next, the base accuracy bonus should be calculated. This is the sum of the relevant attack bonus statistic provided by all currently equipped equipment (as seen in the Equipment Stats interface), plus:

** The additional ranged attack bonus provided by {{ItemIcon|Stormsnap}} if equipped, the formula for this is included on the bow's page

Finally, the player's accuracy rating can then be calculated as:

Otherwise, the attacker's Accuracy Rating is higher than or equal to the target's Evasion Rating, and the formula is instead:

When the attacker's Accuracy Rating and the target's Evasion Rating are the same, the chance to hit is 50%. The higher the attacker's Accuracy Rating is above the targets Evasion Rating, the less valuable each point will be. At double the target's Evasion Rating, the attacker will hit 75% of the time, at triple, the attacker will hit 83.3% of the time.

Given these figures, the base max hit (i.e. max hit before modifiers) is then calculated as:

This base max hit is then adjusted by the percentage and flat max hit modifiers to arrive at the final max hit figure, where the modifiers include both global max hit increases as well as increases specific to the relevant attack type:

==== Magic Max Hit ====

-->The player's Max Hit with [[Magic#Spells|spells]] changes depending on the spell being used. A spell's max hit is listed in the spell's description and is different for every spell. Magic Damage Bonus can be found in the Equipment Stats interface.

For [[Magic#Standard Magic|standard spells]], first determine the max hit stated in the spell's description along with the player's effective {{Skill|Magic}} level by using the same effective level formula as [[#Melee and Ranged Max Hit|Melee and Ranged max hit]] does. The base max hit is then:

This base max hit is then adjusted by the percentage and flat max hit modifiers to arrive at the final max hit figure, where the modifiers include both global and magic max hit increases. Any damage increases with the same element as the spell being used (such as that provided by the {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}}) are also added to the flat max hit modifier:

=== Minimum Hit ===

<!-- JS source: character.js, function computeMinHit

The minimum hit calculation for normal attacks is therefore:

When the player hits with a normal attack, the game calculates how much damage the player actually does by rolling a number between their minimum hit and maximum hit for the chosen combat style and then applying post-roll modifiers.

Some effects are applied after the damage roll is done. The main two are enemy Damage Reduction and [[Player Modifiers]] that affect damage to all monsters or to a subset of monsters such as Slayer Monsters or Boss Monsters. These modifiers can increase the player's damage beyond their listed maximum hit.

==== Damage Reduction ====

==== Critical Hit ====

The player's critical chance starts at 0% (at which point critical hits do not occur), and can be increased by the following:

==== Damage Per Hit, Average Hit, and Damage Per Second ====

Damage Reduction is applied after this initial damage per hit is calculated, which means it is possible for a player to deal less than their minimum hit against a monster that has Damage Reduction.

The calculation for Magic evasion is slightly different from that for Melee and Ranged. The defence bonus used should naturally be the magic defence bonus. In addition, the effective defence level becomes a calculation that factors in both the player's effective Defence and Magic levels:

Then the magic evasion rating becomes:

<math>\text{Evasion Rating} = \left \lfloor \left ( \text{Effective Level} + 9 \right ) \times \left ( \text{Magic Defence Bonus} + 64 \right ) \times \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Evasion Modifier}}{100} \right ) \right \rfloor</math>
