**Attack** is a player's accuracy in melee combat. As a player raises their Attack level, they can deal damage more consistently as well as wield weapons of stronger materials.

## Fighting accurately

In order to gain experience in the Attack stat, players must choose the *accurate* attack style. While using the style, players gain an invisible +3 attack bonus.

## Attack bonuses

Some weapons give players *Attack bonuses* when using certain attack types. These bonuses are noted in the Equipment Stats section of the equipment menu. Attack bonuses give players advantages as well as disadvantages in melee combat, based on their target's strengths and weaknesses.
