If you're using a Slashing-type weapon (as most melee are), those do triple damage to light infested, like the chargers, runners, and leapers. So if your weapon's base charge damage is normally 200 on an ancient, you'll hit all other infested for 600. That's the damage your mods base off of, so all the little guys get hit by a truck while the ancient can take the beating.
