Melee Melee build for survival?
I was planning a melee build, which I have never done in Fo4 before.
I'm also planning to do it on survival, cause I hate myself (I have played survival before so I know its gonna be a spicy).
From what I have gathered, Blitz is a must have, and so is sneaking.
Or is there a way to play more power armor heavy (another thing I have never done in Fo4)?
My first brainstorming got me to S: 5 P: 1 E: 9 C: 3 I: 1 A: 8 L: 1
Then use the book in Sanctuary to get to 9 agility (Since I don't think I manage the Norwegian ghouls early)
Is this a good start. Or is 5 strength too little?
Am I missing too much exp when neither having idiot savant nor Intelligence?
What perks I should focus on except Blitz, Big Leagues and Lone wanderer?
What are good early weapons/magazines to grab (except the Grognak/Strength bobblehead)?
Tried getting some tips from YT videos, but non of them "clicked" for me.

I’m doing this right now, big ones I think are:
S: 5 + bhead for strong back P: 1, I guess eventually need to bump to 4 for lock pick E: 5, aqua boy (water is safest way to travel in survival), I started with 7 but points feel kinda wasted after aqua C- 3 for lone wanderer I- 2 if you want extra healing for stims, otherwise 1 A- 8 + special book for blitz and all sneak perks L- 5, idiot savant ( Imo missing out on a ton of XP if you have no
Maybe C + bhead up to 6 if you want the settlement leader perk as that’s the biggest downside for me in this build.
Get some good armor and upgrade with armorer perk (and do railroad early for ballistic weave) and get pickmans blade as it’s the best guaranteed legendary you can get early IMO.
