All three throwing weapons have armor ignoring damage types -- Physics Impact for Kunai (as does Boltor, Bolto, and Akbolto), Armor Piercing for Despair, and Serrated Blade for Hikou. That makes all of them good sidearms.

Despair has 22% better base damage than Kunai, and its damage type is better vs. Grineer (it does 1.5x to many of them) and corpus (2x to corpus headboxes) but not as good against light infested and crawlers (half damage).

Hikou has 11% higher damage per second than Kunai, at the cost of using twice as much ammo, and it's better against infested, where its damage type is 3x vs light and 1.5x vs. crawlers.

Kunai's Physics Impact doesn't do bonus damage against anyone, and its damage is reduced vs. grineer seekers and commanders.
