Melee damage system takes 2 important physics measurements: '''mass''' and '''velocity'''. While mass is simply an [[item]] attribute, speed is a whole another story.<br />

Every weapon has its own unique set of damaging nodes and each group deals a certain [[combat|type of damage]]. Players can perform 4 types of directional attacks:

* Left to right swing

* Right to left swing

* Overhead attack

* Thrust

Depending on attack direction a certain group of damaging nodes become active and will deal damage. During an attack animation damaging nodes track their positions every 32 ms and connect their current position with their position 32 ms ago resulting in a damaging vector. The longer that vector - the faster that node was traveling. If that vector crosses a [[combat|body part]] of a victim, then a hit will be detected and further damage calculations will occur. These damage calculation will measure the length of a vector that triggered a hit and will convert it into a speed relative to the victim. This allows for precise measurement of weapon attack speed in ''[[Life is Feudal]]''.

* '''Example'''

On the following screenshots you can see a sword's damaging nodes. Take note that the edge of the sword is marked with red (slashing damage) nodes and its tip with a blue (piercing damage) node. <br />

After making a full swing we can see the trajectory that the nodes were following. There is no trace of a blue (piercing) node, because it was not working in that horizontal directional attack. Take note of length of the damaging vectors (speed of nodes): these vectors are short at the start of the attack and even shorter still closer to the player. Thus striking your enemy near the end of a swing with the farthest part of the weapon will deal more damage!
