Last I checked Silva & Aegis got this buff a long time ago when stamina was still a thing.

Currently sword and board weapons DO have the highest damage reduction, but it's still not exactly the best thing for melee. You're better off bullet-jumping past the heavy gunner pinning you down and coming at his ass.
