CODEX

The PROVA is a melee weapon that delivers a high-intensity shock to its target.

The Prova is a Corpus machete with Electricity systems to shock its opponents. It is the go-to weapon used by Prod Crewmen, and a backup weapon of all humanoid Corpus units in the event they are disarmed.

Characteristics

This weapon deals both Impact and Electricity damage.

Advantages:

• Innate Electricity damage – effective against Machinery and Robotic.
• High Impact damage – effective against shields.
• Good critical chance and status chance.
• Slam attacks always proc Impact, with a chance of an extra Electricity proc, regardless of modded weapon element.
• Can use the Prova-exclusive  Static Discharge mod.

Disadvantages:

• Third lowest base damage of all machetes, after Machete and Kama.
  • Innate Electricity damage – less effective against Alloy Armor.
  • No Puncture or Slash damage – less effective against armor and health.
    • Damage cannot be increased with Puncture or Slash mods.

Comparisons:

• Prova, compared to Prova Vandal:
  • Lower base damage (128.0 vs. 198.0)
    • Lower Impact damage (52.0 vs. 80.0)
    • Lower Electricity damage (76.0 vs. 118.0)
  • Lower status chance (16% vs. 32%)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (3 vs. 8)
  • Higher disposition (1.4 vs. 1.35)

Notes

• 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.

Trivia

• 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.
