O look! another question about Kunai vs Despair.

To understand this, take a look at Enemy Vulnerabilities, and bear in mind Kunai deals 100% Normal damage across the board, since it ignores armor, while Despair deals Pure ''Armor Piercing damage. ''

So, take Grineers Mid armor for example, Kunai will deal 100% damage. however, Despair will deal at least 150% damage since it is an Armor Piercing weapon. For Corpus, both weapons are pretty much the same except Despair will be more dmg on crewman headshots. For light Infest, that's where Kunai shines as it deals 100% normal damage while Despair will deal less.

These are only some example, with this in mind and following the table you can see Armor Pierce wins in more enemy types., and you prob better off using heavy melees or auto weapons to fight light infest anyways. So, my pick would be Despair.

With that said Kunai is also a remarkable weapons and the diff is hardly noticable, but Despair being an exclusive and can deal more dmg in most cases I'd go for Despair.
