Starbright Blade is an interesting combination, it's basically a sword-beam in her legs (think of it as an improved version of Laevatein's Senkuuga or Agito's Karyuu Issen) that of course benefits of Mid-styled recollection magic. It's still kind of a stertch to say that makes a difference beteen styles. like if sayting Ryu is a mid-user just because he has the Hadou-ken xDU

Season 1: She had Nanoha in binds and instead of going in to put the hurt down, she uses Photon Lancer full power. In A's: she couldn't match Signum nor Reinforce in CQC and did her best work when fighting at a distance. in StrikerS, Fate does use her energy blade more, however, she mostly uses it to defend herself and get out of a situation, she's far more likely to use sheer speed or lightning blasts to overwhelm her opponents.

Nothing to discuss, just adding that Fate has evolved into quite the melee fighter trough time. In StrikerS she fought and beat both Tre and Sette at the same time by melee alone on her climatic battle of the season. And then we have Fate in FORCE who is easily the most capable member of Section Six being able to keep up with Cypha who just trounced Signum effortlessly a few hours ago, hold her own against the monstrosity that is Armorized Deville and is the FIRST member of the cast able to lay a finger on Curren Huckebein (sure, it didn't last but Fate managed to surprise her which is very impressive considering the titanical badass Curren is).
So yeah, the strongest Non-Eclipse melee fighter in the Nanohaverse seems to be a Mid-user xDU
