What is Strike?

Direct Melee Attacks

Strikes are melee attacks or skills that directly hits an enemy using the weapon or a body part. For example, hitting an enemy with a normal attack using a sword or an axe counts as a strike. While slams also inflict melee damage, they do not hit their targets directly. Instead, they hit the ground that causes damaging areas of effect.
