-->-- NuzlockeComics on [[SpamAttack Spam Attacking]]

* In ''TheWhiteboard'', Doc and Roger are worshipers in the Church of SpamAttack, particularly the varieties involving high explosives.

* {{Warhammer 40,000}} has a variety of armies that work better in close combat, namely anything Khornate or Tyranids. While a lot of the units can get upgrades to get more effective weapons, the cost associated with them are so prohibitively high it's just better to spam more copies of the troop in question. Death Company in particular can be upgraded with almost all kinds of stock fancy CC weapons, such as Power Weapons (which ignore armor). However, for the cost of arming four Death Company members with Power weapons, you could have just bought another 3 more members, which adds a whopping 9 more attacks. Against Heavily armored targets, the extra 9 attacks more than makes up for any armor the enemy might have, while against weaker armor, you can get in more kills.

** The VisualNovel the game is based on (FateStayNight) makes this a speciality of Gilgamesh. To the point where SpamAttack with infinite legendary artifact weapons is his signature fighting style (heck, it's his Noble Phantasm!) If someone [[spoiler: coughShiroucough]] or something [[spoiler: coughAvaloncough]] can counter his SpamAttack ability, he is actually defeatable but until then he can just [[StormOfBlades bladespam]] everything to death while not moving an inch.

** Legendia has a different version of this. Yeah, Chloe still uses the Sword Rain variants, but for Senel, it's Talon storm, where he just kicks the hell out of anyone close to him. (And can lead to some nice combos when him and Chloe combine...you can practically hear 'em singing, [[MontyPython Spam spam spam spam, lovely spaaaaam....]])

* HonorHarrington knows only spam attacks. Let's start with Apollo era tactics, which include massive missile salvos. One salvo is 68,000 missiles strong. Each of the attack missiles (some are recon drones and electronic warfare platforms) is tipped with a bomb pumped laser. That is a nuclear bomb, with 6-8 lasing rods. Then you include the knowledge of kung-fu variants focusing on speed, gattling handheld energy weapons for marines in power armor, and flachett guns for personal protection.

** Both Link's and Toon Link's final smash have him whacking the hell out of your opponent.
** [[KidIcarus Pit]]: [[MostAnnoyingSound HAIYAYAYAH! HAIYAYAYAH! HAIYAYAYAH!]]
** The paper fun can become game breaking very easily on uneventful stages like Final Destination or Battlefield. Once you get trapped in a paper fan assault, you're stuck there until the person decides to quit, and that's usually once you're around 999% damage and anything can KO you.

** Ike's Final Aether definitely.

** Among tournament players, perfect planking. (For the uninitiated, Meta Knight has a strategy involving up-air spam that makes him hypothetically untouchable on the ledge. Most tournaments implemented a limit on the number of times you can grab the ledge because of this.)

* StormOfBlades, for [[FateStayNight KING OF HEROES,]] [[MemeticMutation DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH SWORDS?]]

** Yuyuko. [[MoarDakka Butterflies]]. Actually, Yuyuko in general. She either covers the field in her signature butterfly danmaku (she releases 20+ in a single button press, and each one is the size of a person's head), [[BeamSpam spams some lasers]], or fires off a line of rather hard-hitting spirits (which are more or less guaranteed to chain hit if you get hit by one).

** That's assuming Cat Reflexes and the Potion of Quickness stack. From the game's mechanics standpoint, they most probably apply the very same buff on the target, and as such, it doesn't stack. Eight attacks is fine too, though. On a different note - a relic artifact bow lets all your shooter units fire once more in an attack. Elves normally shoot twice - three shots's a crowd too.

** One particular [[http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=146.0 theoretical build]] managed to get up to 1,067,212 attacks in a single full-round action. An artist's rendering of this monstrosity can be found [[http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd54/Prime32_temp/Other/lizoctataur.png here]]. Yes, it has arms on its arms. And tentacles on its wings.

** Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night has the Crissaegrim, a sword which acts like the Kaiser Knuckles above. this is also one of the best weapons in the game, as it kills most enemies in "one" blow.

* ''[[Webcomic/{{ptitle6n0n2muo}} Rusty and Co.]]'' [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-4-1/ demonstrates]] how it's done. They don't call her "Stabs" for nothing.

** MostTriumphantExample would be Konan when she finally goes all-out [[spoiler:with '''[[BeyondTheImpossible 600 billion explosive notes]]!!''']]. (Not a melee attack, but it fits nowhere else.)

** Ness's PK Fire can be like this considering it stuns (Unlike Lucas's, which explodes rather than burns for a little while)

* In Gendy Tartovsky's ''CloneWars'', General Grievous performs a defensive version of a spam attack while holding five Jedi at bay simultaneously.
