How to read these stats

Damage on hit
Direct hit property. Shown as the average across the weapon’s attacks.
Attack power
A separate combat property from damage on hit. The two are never added into a single “total damage” value.
Stamina per attack
Lower is better: it costs less stamina per swing, which matters over a longer fight.
Daze / Bleed / Force
Three separate combat effects. They are not damage, and they are never added together.
The “higher than N of M” line
How many other melee weapons that use this stat this weapon beats. Ties are common, which is why the page does not use a “#1” label.
