Notes[edit | edit source]
- The Prova shakes the screen violently while blocking, which may be disorienting. This same oddity is shared with the
Fragor and the
Scindo.
- The Prova is a
Machete.
- Unlike the
Prova Vandal, the regular Prova does not have a guaranteed
Electricity procs on its slam attack, instead basing it off the weapon's status chance with a radial knockdown occurring the rest of the time.
Tips[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- On Jump attacks, the Prova releases six small streams of electricity that each travel outward lead by a sparking orb. This purely cosmetic effect is not shared with other pure
Electricity type melee weapons like the
Plasma Sword,
Lecta and
Serro. This effect however is shared with the
Amphis, which only deals
Electricity status proc on its jump attack.
- Prova is Italian for "evidence" or "proof", which in turn is derived from its Latin equivalent proba.
- John Prodman in The Index wields a Prova as his signature weapon.
