'''Melee''' (pronounced "may-lay"), is the act of physically attacking an enemy by striking them with a close-quarters bladed weapon, or with a fist or palm. In the ''[[Destiny]]'' series, each class of [[Guardian]] has its own unique melee attack.<ref name= "Destiny Drawing Board">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Drawing-Board-The-Hunters-Knife/en/News/News?aid=11269 '''Bungie''': ''Destiny Drawing Board: The Hunter's Knife'']</ref> | '''Melee''' (pronounced "may-lay"), is the act of physically attacking an enemy by striking them with a close-quarters bladed weapon, or with a fist or palm.

==Subclass melee attacks (Destiny)== | ==Gameplay== | ||
===Guardians=== | |||
The basic melee attack, colloquially known as an "uncharged melee", is executed by pressing the appropriate button. The player will lunge slightly towards their target, allowing them to attack even if further than point blank. This attack inflicts [[Kinetic]] damage, and can kill another Guardian in two hits, not accounting for any beneficial or detrimental effects. | |||
Every subclass also has access to an elemental melee [[Ability]], called a "charged melee". This allows the player to execute various utility moves, depending on their subclass. Most subclasses have multiple melees, with differing cooldowns. The cooldown of melee abilities is also modified by the character's Strenght stat. | |||
By default, a player executes their charged melee if it is ready, and their uncharged melee if the other is on cooldown. However, they can be separated through keybinds. | |||

===Enemies=== | |||
Most enemy combatants have ways to attack in melee. Combatants with a dedicated melee weapon, such as [[Wretch]]es with their [[Arc Spear]]s, inflict [[Elemental damage]] through it, while most non-dedicated melee fighters inflict Kinetic damage. | |||
Almost all [[Ultra]] enemies have a powerful melee attack, colloquially known as an '''Ultra Smash'''. This attack is usually telegraphed through a roar or other loud sound and the combatant rearing up to strike the ground. This is a very dangeorus attack, with high damage and high knockback, which combined can kill players by having them slam into objects. Ultra Smashes usually inflict Kinetic damage, but can have other effects, such as leaving a damaging [[Solar]] field on the ground. | |||
