【Updated to Patch 6.11】Optimal Melee Weapon Combo

• Light attack: Press mouse left button.
  
• Heavy attack: Hold mouse left button for a short period of time and release.
  Most weapons only have 1 level of charge attack. However, War Pick and Rapier have 2 levels of charge states for their heavy attacks, initiated by holding the mouse left button a bit longer. And Glaive/Kerillian Greatsword second heavy attack is initiated by inputting a light attack input after the first heavy attack.
  
• Push: Hold mouse right button and then press mouse left button.
  
• Push attack: Hold mouse right button and then hold mouse left button.
  
• Special attack: Press V. Only few weapons have special attack.
  
• Block Cancel: Click mouse right button once. Reset the combo cycle.
  
• QQ Cancel: Double click Q(switch weapon). Reset the combo cycle. It will increase a lot of weapon's DPS. However, I am personally highly against abusing these mechanics. So I will only mention those weapons that can be dramatically improved by QQ cancel.

• Against horde: This combo is used to fight against horde.
  Weapons may have multiple combos for different stamina consumption/different horde density/if the horde is a mixed horde or not. Here, high density horde usually means horde with shield units/chaos horde with a lot of marauders/beastman horde, and mixed horde means horde with shield units/Storm Vermin/Mauler inside.
  
• Against elite: This combo is used to fight against elites.
  Due to the number/type of elites, there might be more than one combos.
  
• Against monster: This combo is used to fight monsters. It does the highest monster DPS.
  Due to monster can have armour (e.g Stromfiend), there might be more than one combos.
