ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Melee

Melee means fighting with swords, knives, or other hand-held weapons that you can touch with your hands. It's a type of combat where you use your body to attack your opponent instead of shooting them from far away.

Imagine you and your friend have a bunch of toy swords, and you both pretend to fight with them. That's like melee fighting! You have to get close to each other to hit and defend.

In real life, melee fighting can be dangerous and is often used in movies or video games for entertainment. But it's important to remember that it shouldn't be used in real fights unless it's necessary for self-defense.

So, to sum it up: melee fighting is like pretending to fight with swords, but in real life it's an action-packed and often dangerous way of fighting with hand-held weapons!
