Angriffsradius
Attack Range determines how far a unit can use their standard autoattacks on. Attack ranges are split into two categories: Melee and Ranged.
Melee vs. Ranged
- Melee units, as their name suggests, have a short attack range. Almost all melee heroes have an attack range of 150.
- Sir Benzington is the only melee hero who can extend his attack range.
- Melee units' attacks do not have a travel time, and strike instantly once their startup animation ends.
- Ranged units have attacks that attack further away. All ranged heroes have at least 350 range (just slightly above Sir Benzington without Lance-A-Long active), most of them possessing an Attack Range between 500 and 600.
- Ranged attacks have a missile speed associated with their attacks, determining how fast their attack projectiles move, and in turn, how long it takes for their attacks to connect.
- In addition, a Faux Bow increases a range hero's attack range by 100, and a Wingbow by 150.
- While ranged attacks are inherently superior the melee attacks, there are a few benefits that only melee heroes can receive. A handful of items have better effects on melee heroes such as Logger's Hatchet and Frostwolf's Skull, and gain more benefits from certain effects, such as Abyssal Skull's Lifesteal aura.
- However, a few abilities benefit only ranged units, such as Moon Queen's Lunar Glow aura.
- Ranged autoattacks are also subjected to uphill miss chance, which gives them a 25% chance to miss their attack if they target a unit that is standing in higher terrain (except when attacking a Ward of Sight or Ward of Revelation).
- Ranged attacks can also be disjointed by certain abilities while the projectile is in motion.
