Range visualized

Range visualized with an image overlay.

For area of effect of skills, see Area of Effect.

The range of a skill or effect is the maximum Distance it can influence anything from its point of origin.

Mechanics[ | ]

Melee attacks have a relatively short range determined by adding weapon range to the radius of a character's hitbox (which is 2), though it can be greatly extended by utilizing certain passives and items. Maximum travel distance for projectiles is 120 units, although many projectiles in the game dissipate before reaching it, which limits their effective range.

Range of melee attacks can be improved by taking either of the Master of the Arena or Razor's Edge notables, socketing the Warlord's Reach inventory iconWarlord's ReachWarlord's Reach
