'''Dark Melee''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s, and a secondary set for [[Tanker]]s.


'''Dark Melee''' is one of the powersets. It is a [[Scrapper]] primary powerset in City of Heroes and a [[Brute]] and [[Stalker]] primary powerset in City of Villains.
"Dark Melee allows you to focus the powers of the Netherworld to defeat your foes. The draining effect of most of these powers can reduce the target's Accuracy."
