Maximum melee hit

Maximum melee hit is the maximum damage a player can deal in a melee combat. It is affected by player's strength, equipment and other bonuses such as prayer or potions.

Formula
This is approximate formula to calculate your max hit in melee combat. It does not pretend to be correct but it is usable as a rough guess.

1. Calculate your base strength:


 * $$BaseStrength = Strength * (1 + PotionBonus + PrayerBonus... )$$

2. Add bonus for combat style using following table:


 * $$CombatStrength = BaseStrength + CombatStyleBonus$$

3. Calculate your strength multiplier. You can determine strength bonus of your equipment by looking at your inventory screen or adding strength bonuses of individual pieces of your equipment together.


 * $$ StrengthMultiplier = (EquipmentBonus * 0.00175) + 0.1$$

4. Now you can compute final max hit value:


 * $$MaxHit = floor (CombatStrength * StrengthMultiplier + 1.05)$$

The maximum hit on RuneScape is 111 with the full dharok barrows set, 99 strength and the best strength bonus possible. On f2p, the max hit is 32, with 99 strength, a Rune 2h sword, amulet of strength, strength potion, Ultimate Strength prayer, and fighting aggressively.

In the Dungeon of Tolna during A Soul's Bane quest, players could hit up to 200 on monsters in the rage room, however that damage is simply a player's normal damage times twenty.

Using Keris, a player with 99 strength could hit upwards with 168 on Kalphites, using the best strength equipment, the Piety prayer, a black mask, and drinking a super strength potion.
