Stat Impact

What Melee Charge actually gives you

Melee Charge delivers 10% melee damage, 6% bullet resist, and 50% heavy melee distance. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.

Best Heroes

Who wins most with Melee Charge

Melee Charge performs strongest on Ivy (54.7% WR across 19,896 games), Victor (54.0% WR across 2,008 games), and Dynamo (51.5% WR across 1,715 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.

Most Picked By

Who buys Melee Charge the most

In terms of raw pickup volume, Melee Charge shows up most on Billy (311,310 games), Abrams (254,238 games), and Venator (158,038 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.

Build Context

Melee Charge build path

Melee Charge is a base tier purchase with no prerequisites, so you can buy it directly from the shop without stacking components first. Melee Charge upgrades into Crushing Fists, so picking it early sets up a direct path into a late game power spike instead of locking in a dead end purchase.

Rank Performance

Melee Charge across the rank ladder
