What are Melee Weapons?

Minecraft Dungeons uses both Melee and Ranged Weapons, with players having one of each equipped at all times.

Melee Weapons have Power, Speed and Area stats, unlike Ranged Weapons, which have an Ammo stat in place of the Area stat. While many properties of each Weapon have random elements, such as Damage and the available Enchantments, Power, Speed and Area will be consistent for all versions of the same weapon.
