Just wanted to say that when using melee while prowl is active, the energy drain can be very high once you combine all the factors. For example...

-1 just for prowl being active (my energy drain for prowl is actually 0.33 so not losing a full 1 energy every second)

-1 for landing a melee hit (no energy drain if you don't hit the target)

-2 for the small movement you have to do while hitting with a melee weapon.

So overall, each melee swing can feel like an enemy with energy leech is near you and it gets worse if you use any strength mods at all to try and boost damage on her ultimate or headshot modifiers for prowl.

I just got finished doing 1 hour survival on pluto and because my ninkondi where still in need of ranking up, It was taking 40+ swings to kill a heavy unit, needless to say I was out of energy before I could kill anything. Good think with suppress or hush mods on ranged weapons, she can still nuke with those without burning energy like with melee.

So if you are gonna level melee, do it with loki or ash, ivara kinda sucks for leveling melee weapons...the energy drain is too high especially when she's easily one shotted sooner than most frames since she needs a lot of mod space just to get her powers in a decent place.
