the block types of melee weapons other than the ChainSword need to be adjusted.

​no​t​e:I don't use English, so I used Google Translate to write this text.​​

So, there may be some parts that are not clear.

The block type ChainSword is excellent. It has higher or equal Strength, Speed, and Cleaving than other types, and has best DPS. 

And during the adrenaline buff, you can do a high-damage combo with a damage multiplier of 4.9, which is Light1, Light2, and Shoulder Tackle. 

(Charged Full Throttle is excluded from the combo because there is little chance of using it.) 

So what about other weapons?

Knife - DPS is good, but Cleaving is the lowest. ←BAD!

The combo during adrenaline buff is Light1, Light2, Skull Crusher, with a total damage multiplier of 4.6. It's not a bad number, but it feels unsatisfying. 

(Charged Shadow Stab is excluded from the combo because there is little chance of using it.) 

Thunder Hammer - Like the ChainSword, the numbers are great, but it's not so good when you actually use it. The only attacks that can be used during the adrenaline buff are Light1, Light2 with a damage multiplier of 2, or AfterShock with a damage multiplier of 2 (3 if you have additional perks). ←SAD! 

The Light1, Slam combo has a total damage multiplier of 4 and is easy to use with its compact motion, but the buff ends before the slam hits. As such, the adrenaline buff duration and the hammer motion don't match, so it's not as effective as a chainsword.

(Charged AfterShock is excluded from the combo because there is little chance of using it.)

Power Sword - Lower DPS than balance type. It's the worst.Power

Fist - Lower DPS than balance type. It's the worst. 

Conclusion: Review the stats for each weapon type, adjust the weapon's DPS and Cleaving in the order of Block>Balance>Fencing, and adjust the adrenaline buff effect time to match the weapon's main combo.
