Master Melee Combat Timing with Better Combat

Understanding Attack Windows

Better Combat replaces instant clicks with swing timing mechanics. Your weapon now has a charge-up and cooldown phase. Watch your weapon's animation carefully—it will glow or shift position when ready to deal full damage.

Practice Your Swings

1. Equip any melee weapon and approach a non-hostile mob or target

2. Observe the weapon animation in first or third-person view

3. Click when the weapon reaches its peak position—this is your optimal damage window

4.

5. Attacking too early or late reduces damage output

Combat Tips

• Different weapons have different swing speeds; experiment to find your rhythm
• Heavier weapons deal more damage but have longer cooldowns
• Lighter weapons attack faster but deal less per hit
• Strafe while attacking to avoid enemy damage and maintain positioning
• Use third-person camera to better judge your weapon's swing arc and timing

Practice against weak mobs first, then progress to tougher creatures as your timing improves.
