OSRS Melee Combat Mechanics - Basic Guide

In this video we are going to be looking at the mechanics behind OSRS Melee Combat. This guide aims to give you a basic understanding of how melee works and how to set you character up to maximise DPS!

On the surface OSRS combat seems very basic and anyone familiar with the rules of say dungeons and dragons, or roll-based tabletop games can imagine how it works. This is not far from the truth, combat is indeed based on a roll system, however the actual system is a lot more complicated. This offers players an advantage, as understanding how this works can give you some big benefits in combat. Now I’m going to add a disclaimer upfront, this guide aims to create a basic understanding of the mechanics, so I will use approximations and simplifications to try and make things easier to understand. Let me know in the comments if you think some advanced guides will be of use to you.

I hope that this OSRS Melee Combat Mechanics - Basic Guide is useful! Please leave a comment with any suggestions for improvements. Lastly, check out my channel for F2P & P2P quest & skill guide playlists, as well as the rest of my HCIM OSRS progress series.
