Melee Attacking

In the game: help kill

Attack with your weapon: kill, jab, thrust and lunge.

Syntax: kill <victim>   (starts combat)
Syntax: jab [victim] [bodypart]
Syntax: thrust [victim] [bodypart]
Syntax: lunge [victim] [bodypart]

KILL only starts a fight. From then on you must keep attacking yourself: type JAB, THRUST or LUNGE each time your previous attack is done, or your character just stands there.

The Jab, Thrust and Lunge commands allow attacking your victim with a melee (short range) weapon, optionally targeting a specific body part. (Each command utilizes your weapon in just a slightly different way).

Command	swing speed	Balance impact	damage
jab	fast	Small	low
thrust	mediocre	mediocre	normal
lunge	slow	large	very high

Depending on your opponent, you might want to change your tactics. If your victim is too hard to hit, multiple fast jabs may be preferable over slower thrusts or lunges.

Likewise, if your balance is too low and you use a too powerful attack, you might fall and lose your defensive advantage.

Lunge is the only melee attack that has 25% chance to circumvent anyone guarding your target.

The game also finds it under: kill, attack, melee, melee_attack, jab, thrust, lunge, fight, hit, melee attacking, melee attack.
