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.

More advanced guides would be great!

Cheers for the comment teholly1297! 😁👍 I’ll have a think and see what I can come up with 🤔 Off the top of my head, I’d be looking at prayer flicking, tick manipulation and flinching, as my first ‘advanced’ level guides. Is that the kinda thing that would be useful? Or are you thinking more advanced content guides? Like guides to P2P raids or something? 🤔

On runelite, the simplest way to skip all of this is to install the “DPS Calculator” plugin. It shows you DPS, Max Hit, and Chance to Hit. It takes into account all factors to include, equipped gear, potions, prayers, and NPC being attacked. it’s made knowing when to repot or use certain prayers easy.

Oh wow that’s great! There’s so many plugins I learn about new ones all the time! That’s very useful! I’ll add it to my update list for the video! Hopefully it’s still kinda useful to people to understand how this stuff is calculated, but if you can just use a handy plug it to get an accurate figure that awesome! 👍😁 Thanks for the comment 👍👍👍

A lot of that middle bit was inaccurate and seemed like you were just making it up. The community has known exactly how combat works under the hood for years. It's on the wiki. Please do adequate research before tailoring a video to beginners. You then do post the correct formula for how to calculate defense roll, yet do it wrong just seconds later.... This is how accuracy works: Attack roll = (attack + 9) * (attack bonus + 64) Defence roll = (defence + 9) * (defense bonus + 64) You now have a number for the attacker and defender, roll them, if the attack is higher then they have landed a hit. This is both simpler than what you said, and more importantly actually how it works.

Hello dwakeling1 thanks for your comment. I’m not sure you’re getting the point of the video, as I’m just trying to give people a way to understand the factors affecting how combat works. So your explanation of how rolls work is good and I definitely could have used a simple explanation like that to focus on how combat rolls work, so I can take that on board definitely 👍 I also point all my videos at the OSRS wiki and mention if you want the exact formulas to go to the site. The point of my video is to try to get people to understand the basic components that affect the melee combat stats which I think it largely does. Showing the roll calculation is useful on one hand but, it’s the modifiers that are important, so yeah I’ll accept that I mixed level and equipment stats which aren’t equal, but if you want an estimate of your accuracy I think it’s a decent approach 🤷🏻‍♂️ and keeps it very simple for newer or less bothered players, level + equipment bonus + attack style bonus = rough accuracy estimate. Ultimately I would argue that yeah you won’t get the exact number the game uses but mathematically as a score it doesn’t really matter and it’s easy to work out on the fly in your head, which the actual calculation isn’t, most people will need to use a calculator. Some people will 100% want the exact calculation which is fine, but I dunno I think a lot of people hate any form of maths and as simple as the actual calculation is, some people won’t like it. Especially when there’s all the other concepts to understand, max mum hit and DPS being more important imo. 👍👍👍 I appreciate the comment though and I’ll look to improve my guides going forwards! Thanks again 👍👍👍

It’s all good man! In all honesty that video was a lot more difficult to do than I’d initially thought… Try to boil the concepts down and present them was a challenge! 😬😅 OSRS looks simple due to the graphics and style of the game but under the hood there’s a lot going on and a millions ways to get things done 😅 I honestly appreciate your comment and will take it onboard! Constructive criticism/feedback helps the channel! Thanks again and stay safe brother! 👍
