'new EV is finally useful against non-boss enemies because before rework any weak enemy like Charger would have been killed before anyone could get any reasonable amount of energy'

Of course it worked on smaller enemies before, since overkill-damage was used for the calculation as well.

Example:

Your EV has 25% conversion rate, so 25% of your damage gets turned into energy.

Your targeted charger has 100 HP left.

You attack with an Orthos Charge-Attack.

The damage caused is 300 Base damage + ~150 with Sundering Strike = ~450 damage.

Those 450 are enough damage to get you your 100 energy.
