If you want even more specific info about weapon types, have a look here;
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Weapons#Weapon_type_properties
It list things such as attack range (slightly different), and movement while doing combo's (swordwielders move more when doing combos). Details, schmeetails - but all melee weapons have their own properties (and combo's!!).
