Melee combat is a central element of the game, especially when Spartans with energy swords, elite warriors with blades or Brutes clash with brutal force. In this article, we take a closer look at the melee rules and explain the basic principles.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_20250307_160243-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Halo: Flashpoint - Melee combat\" class=\"wp-image-2138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_20250307_160243-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_20250307_160243-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_20250307_160243-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_20250307_160243-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_20250307_160243-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will it come to hand-to-hand combat?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A model can attack an opponent in <strong>melee<\/strong> if it is in the same dice (cube) as an enemy model. There are two ways to do this: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Targeted attack:<\/strong> A model in the same cube can start melee combat as a <strong>long action<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assault:<\/strong> If a model moves into an opponent&#8217;s cube, melee combat is automatically triggered &#8211; <strong>free of charge<\/strong> as an additional action. This makes melee combat dynamic and rewards offensive moves. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Detaching from the opponent<\/strong>: If a model moves out of a cube containing an opponent&#8217;s figure (i.e. if you were in close combat), the opponent receives a free melee attack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weapons in close combat<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only weapons with the range <strong>&#8220;CC&#8221; (Close Combat)<\/strong> may be used. If a model has several close combat weapons, the player must choose one <strong>before dicing<\/strong>. The characteristics and keywords of this weapon then apply to the attack.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The procedure<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In close combat, there is a direct comparison of two dice tests:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The attacker:<\/strong> performs a <strong>Fight test<\/strong> with 3 dice. Each dice value rolled that is at least equal to the value on the unit card for close combat counts as a success. \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Modifiers can bring additional dice:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>+2 dice<\/strong> if the attack was triggered by a movement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>+1 dice<\/strong> if a friendly model is in the same cube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>+1 dice<\/strong> if the target is injured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>+1 dice<\/strong> if the target was on the ground at the start of the action (pinned).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The objective:<\/strong> perform a <strong>Survive test<\/strong> with 3 dice at the same time. Each dice value rolled that is at least equal to the value on the unit card for survival counts as a success. \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There are bonuses here too:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>+1 dice<\/strong> if there is another friendly model in the cube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>+1 dice<\/strong> if the attacker is injured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who will win the melee?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both players count their <strong>successes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Attacker wins:<\/strong> The difference in successes corresponds to the number of <strong>hits<\/strong> the target suffers. Depending on the weapon, additional effects may occur &#8211; such as <strong>knockback<\/strong>, which pushes the opponent back. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Defender wins or tie:<\/strong> Nothing happens, the melee ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Direct, brutal and risky<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close combat in <a href=\"https:\/\/haloflashpoint.manticgames.com\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Halo: Flashpoint<\/em> from Mantic Games <\/a>is fast and hard. A bold assault attack can give you the decisive advantage &#8211; especially with powerful CC weapons such as energy swords or brute hammers. At the same time, it involves risk: if the opponent rolls well, you come away empty-handed.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes melee combat an exciting tactical element that allows players to dominate the battlefield with clever positioning, <a href=\"https:\/\/mechstrategen.de\/en\/halo-flashpoint-ranged-combat\/\">ranged attacks<\/a> as well as powerful attacks.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, <strong>melee combat in Halo: Flashpoint is a risky but often game-changing weapon in any unit&#8217;s arsenal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-suk4hog5 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-txhv7i30 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top wp-block-uagb-info-box--has-margin\"><div class=\"uagb-infobox-margin-wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h2 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Become part of the mission!<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-04am529k\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-7mtawwds uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Help me to further expand Mechstrategen.de and strengthen the community.
