Low-level shield, one-handed mace, and two-handed staff 3D renders from Alpha-2.[1]

You can see by the quality of these types of weapons: these are relatively lower level. These are some of the earliest types of weapons and or gear that you can acquire within Ashes of Creation.[1]Steven Sharif

Melee weapons and abilities have a maximum range of effect.[2][3]

  • There are two melee weapon slots: One on each side of a character's belt.[4]

List of melee weapons

Melee skills

Some abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped.[5][6][7]

Skill Icon Base skill
Castigation CastigationIcon.jpg Lashes your target with holy energy whip, dealing direct damage and restoring health and mana to yourself over time.[10][11][12][13]
Healing Touch Healing Touch.png Heal target ally in melee range for a large amount of health.[2][14]
Inciting Strikes IncitingStrikesIcon.png Slashes twice in a forward cone while adding additional threat.[15]
Shield Assault ShieldAssaultIcon.png Bashes the target with your shield, dealing damage and applying the shaken condition. If the target is already suffering from the shaken condition, stun the target instead.[16]
Smite Smite.png Smite your target, dealing instant damage and applying a stack of Burning to target enemy. Has no cast time and deals increased damage if activated within melee range of the target. This attack always critically hits on targets under the effect of Condemn.[17][18]
Tremoring Bellow TremoringBellowIcon.png Releases a thundering shout in a forward cone, applying the staggered condition on enemy targets. Also stomps the ground dealing damage around the caster and tripping enemies affected by the snared condition.[19]
Whirlwind Damages targets in range and applies a stagger effect.[20]

Directional attacks

There will be directional attacks (back attacks, flanking attacks, frontal attacks) that deal additional damage depending on the positional context of the attack.[21]

Cleaving

Weapon attack cone in Alpha-1.[22]

As I attack I am hitting multiple numbers of these opponents; and that's important because all weapons, regardless of whether you are in reticle mode or tab-targeting mode will be able to have a action-based type weapon attack. Not active skill, but weapon attack.[22]Steven Sharif

All weapons have a forward attack cone, regardless of being in tab or action mode.[22]

Polearms for example will have a much wider arc and much further out. Daggers will have a more fine-tuned arc, so you have to be more precise in that regard.[22]Steven Sharif

This is described as a weapon attack not an active skill.[22]

Mana

Resting and mana regeneration.[24]

As you know, a classic MMO thing to do is to sit and rest as you get your resources back.[25]Steven Sharif

Mana is a universal resource/energy in Ashes of Creation that keeps corresponding stats for mana pool, consumption and regeneration relevant.[26][27][28]

Mana management I think, not just for mage players but for really every class, is a relevant resource mechanic that they have to take into consideration when they're utilizing their rotations; and there are going to be abilities that will sap your mana faster than others; and they're going to be situational. Now, with that blanket statement of mana is always relevant, there is also going to be mechanics and/or class energies and abilities that you can spec into to help mitigate that. There's itemization that you can utilize from a set bonus perspective, or certain types of weapons and tattoos that you can acquire. There are certain enchantments that you can acquire that might reduce the cost of mana use, that might increase your amount of regeneration, that might increase your mana total pool. There are even specs that you can build towards if mana management is your issue. So we want to make it a compelling case that you need to think about mana use because you don't just want to go 100% all the time with no downside to that. That's a very boring type of interaction.[26]Steven Sharif

Gear slots

Alpha-2 character sheet work-in-progress UI.[31]

We wanted to create something that would handle a couple of different roles, with obviously your equipment slots for what we call a "paper doll", which is that display of your character. Eventually it won't just be a image of your character, we hope to have the 3D character and be able to rotate around, look at what you're wearing. And then we wanted to support a couple of different features here, with some base stats; the equipment, which will show what equipment you have available to quick swap, so you don't have to have your inventory and the screen open; detailed stats for those people who want to get into all of the details; and then of course gear sets. So this is going to be able to swap to your sets of gear quickly; and being able to save different loadouts.[31]Colby Marchi

There are multiple gear slots in Ashes of Creation.[31]

  • Previously it was stated there were 16 gear slots.[37]

Gear appearance priority

Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[33][36][50]
