Attack range


Info

Melee and ranged

The attack range itself is not what decides if a unit is classified as ranged or melee. This characteristic is set for each unit individually, regardless of their actual attack range. This means that it is possible for a melee unit to have a higher attack range than a ranged unit. These are the differences between melee and ranged units:

Acquisition range

In order to prevent units from automatically attacking any visible enemy unit, they have a certain acquisition range. This range determines how close an enemy has to get in order for the unit to automatically attack it. Since this only goes for auto-attacks, this range has no influence on units which have auto-attack disabled in the game options.

The default acquisition range for melee heroes is 600, and 800 for ranged heroes. There are some exceptions to this mainly due to abilities. The exceptions are:

Melee

The standard attack range for melee units is 150. If the target is farther than 350 range more than the melee unit`s attack range, the attack will always miss. This is called buffer range, and true strike does not guarantee hits on units outside of the buffer range. For most melee heroes attack buffer range is 500.

Melee heroes receive a greater benefit from certain items such as Stout Shield, Quelling Blade, Skull Basher, and Manta Style.

Only melee units can use Cleave, ranged units cannot.

Ranged

Ranged attack projectiles follow the target and can be disjointed. Ranged units also have a 25% chance to miss their attack when firing uphill.
