Melee Attack Explanations
A "sweep attack" is an arcing melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the edge of the blade (the length of obround melee hitbox). A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range.

Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations.
Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations.
Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.
Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart.
Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.
