Melee Ability

A melee ability is an ability that alters a player's melee attack. Each melee ability is unique to a particular subclass.

In Destiny, melee abilities have a cooldown which can be reduced by the Strength armor attribute.

In Destiny 2, armor pieces can have mods that reduce the cooldown of melee abilities.
