Swords and other melee styles

A sword query is narrower than the whole melee category. Photon blades use a kill meter and armor milestone; starlight holds a rapid stabbing attack; da capo advances through musical movements. A weapon looking like a sword does not imply that it shares another sword’s reach, damage conditions or resource system.

Melee progression also differs outside swords. Smile consumes bodies, amateur dentist gains and loses teeth, and spike grinders fills a damage meter for revival. Their strongest states depend on conditions earned during a life. Comparing those forms with a fresh spawn as if both were always available would hide the main tradeoff.
