Melee is simply "hand-to-hand combat". In Tibia this can be accomplished with swords, axes, clubs, or even your bare hands.

Distance Weapons, Rods, Wands, Runes and Spells do NOT qualify as melee, since they can be used to attack from a distance.

Melee attacks always cause Physical Damage, although after winter 2007 update enchanted weapons may cause elemental damage as well.

To calculate the damage of melee combat, you can check this formula.
