Return To Moria Damage Types
In Return to Moria, there are a few types of damage to get familiar with. The following are the types of damage in Return to Moria along with the weapons they are connected to. Each weapon deals specific damage to mobs.
For example, using piercing damage on a Mountain Goat in Return to Moria deals more damage than slashing weapons. Oftentimes, you would need to hit the animal twice or three times depending on the weapon but when you use piercing damage, you would only need to hit it once, depending on the Tier weapon you are using.
| Damage Type | Weapon |
| Piercing | Spear |
| Slashing | Sword |
| Bludgening | Hammer |
| Crushing | Axe/War Axe |
| Ranged | Bow |
In Return to Moria, it is also important to note that there are enchantments you can use to increase your damage against enemies. One such enchantment is the Khamin Rakhas enchantment which increases your damage against Orcs. Enchanting your weapons enhances their damage greatly as well as other uses such as mining.
