Despair is almost entirely a better Kunai.

Kunai has full damage on Light Infested, an easier time hitting over cover (faster fall), staggers on-hit, and is easier to acquire to BP for it.

Despair has higher base damage (+10), deals AP instead of AI (increased damage to most weakpoints, up to a 4x on Corpus heads), has an easier time hitting at long range (slower fall), does not stagger on-hit, and is "free" to acquire the BP for it.
