Weapons & attack range

Damage is per hit, before target armor. Different projectile upgrades are shown separately. Attack timing can also depend on animation; these values are not a DPS estimate.

Range

ⓘ

Maximum attack distance in game units. Melee weapons have short ranges; archers can attack from farther away.

300Pre-attack

ⓘ

Delay before the attack is released, in milliseconds (1,000 ms = 1 second). When it applies depends on the weapon and animation.

1,000 msShot delay

ⓘ

Configured delay between attacks, in milliseconds. This applies to melee swings too. Animation and reload timing can also affect the actual attack rate.

5,000 msClip

ⓘ

Attacks per reload cycle, not total ammunition. Not specified means the weapon definition does not set a clip size; this is common for melee weapons.
