CODEX

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

The Prova is a  Corpus machete with Electricity Damage 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 Damage Impact and Electricity Damage Electricity damage.

Advantages:

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

Disadvantages:

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

Comparisons:

• Prova (Normal), compared to Prova Vandal (Normal):
  • Lower base damage (128 vs. 198)
    • Lower Impact Damage Impact damage (52 vs. 80)
    • Lower Electricity Damage Electricity damage (76 vs. 118)
  • Lower status chance (16% vs. 32%)
  • Higher disposition (1.4 vs. 1.35)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (3 vs. 8)

Notes

• The Prova shakes the screen violently while blocking, which may be disorienting. This same oddity is shared with the Fragor Fragor and the Scindo Scindo.
• The Prova is a Machete Machete.
• Unlike the Prova Vandal Prova Vandal, the regular Prova does not have a guaranteed Electricity Damage 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 Damage Electricity type melee weapons like the Plasma Sword Plasma Sword, Lecta Lecta and Serro Serro. This effect however is shared with the Amphis Amphis, which only deals Electricity Damage 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.
