Drop | Chance | Expected | Nearly Guaranteed |
---|---|---|---|
Main Blueprint | 5.53% | 18 – 19 kills | 121 ± 40 kills |

Notes
Edit
- Prior to Update 9, there were no knives visible in the quivers.
- The trails from thrown blades are affected by your energy color.
Trivia
Edit
- A "monofilament" is a type of wire or edge, consisting of a single strand or side of strongly bound together molecules. This creates an edge that is micron or even nanometer thin, the sharpest possible.
- Typically, they are applied as a cutting tool or a weapon that can sever nearly any object or other molecules.
- Organic molecular wires have been proposed for usage in optoelectronics.
- Similarly to the
Hikou and
Kunai, the Despair is a secondary thrown weapon that deals mostly
Puncture damage.
