Maximizing Your Melee Damage
From TheKolWiki

The Hermit humbly requests that this page be rewritten or expanded
Should weapon power/smacking (which now only multiply Weapon Power)/criticals be taken into account?
- Needs to be rewritten to match the new dressing for success page.

[ Return to Dressing For Success ]
This page illustrates how players of different means can maximize the damage they do in melee combat, following the guidelines in Dressing For Success.
Note that since the elemental powder potions (phial of coldness, phial of hotness, phial of sleaziness, phial of spookiness, and phial of stench) convert all damage to the corresponding element and are fairly cheap, and elemental damage is not absorbed so long as the monster is not aligned with the chosen element, the equipment choices below were made according to total bonus damage over all elements, plus the physical bonus. Technically, apathetic lizardfolk can't afford phials, but they don't care. Whatever.
A listing of melee damage modifiers can be found at Bonus Melee Damage. Since melee damage is largely dependent on Muscle, readers may also be interested in Muscle Modifiers and Maximizing Your Muscle.
1The palm-frond whip may not be the best of choices as it can break in combat.
Notes
- Sharp Weapon indirectly increases melee damage by increasing weapon power.
