Атака is one of the skills in Runescape: Dragonwilds and is one of the three combat styles. Fighting monsters using melee combat levels a player's Attack to gain various bonuses that enhance their effectiveness with the skill.
Players can either use their unarmed fists or melee weapons while in combat to earn Attack experience. The higher the tier of the weapon, the higher the base damage, and thus the more experience earned. To effectively combat, see Attack/Strategies for more details.
In addition, players can gain experience from Attack Skill Tomes or from special reward tomes like the Tome of the Dragon Slayer.
Weapons
Melee weapons are split into two categories: one-handed and two-handed weapons. One-handed weapons allow players to also wield a shield. Some weapons have unique special attacks while some classes of weapons have the same special attack across variants.
Shields
Shields allow players to parry while using melee which can apply debuffs to monsters and reduce the damage received by attacks.
Armour
Players can earn set bonuses when wearing armour of the same combat type (i.e., melee, ranged, mage) and can mix and match within that type. For example, a player wearing a Paladin's helm (melee), green dragonhide body (ranged), and white platelegs (melee) will get the second tier of melee set bonuses and the first tier of ranged set bonuses. The melee armour set bonuses are:
- 1/3 -33% block stamina cost
- 2/3 +50% critical chance after blocking
- 3/3 +25% damage to staggered targets
Consumables
Players can consume certain crafted materials to receive a temporary boost to damage or allow their melee attacks to apply debuffs to monsters.
- Whetstone - provides a percentage buff to melee damage
- Weapon barbs - applies the Bleed status effect
- Weapon poison - applies the Poison status effect
- Fire oil - applies the Burning status effect
Boosts
Players can consume potions, eat foods, or equip trinkets to increase Attack experience or increase damage and, indirectly, the experience.
- Lesser Attack potion - Increases the chance of landing critical hits with melee by 25% for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
- Weak Focused Attack potion - Provides a 5% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)

Experience Calculation
Experience is earned based on the amount of damage dealt to an enemy (except for the training dummy). If the attack is normal, players will receive 25% of the damage value as Attack experience. If the attack is a critical hit, players will instead receive 50% the damage value as Attack experience.
