It seems that there is a lot of misinformation about how much damage Nova Knives do, so yesterday I checked them myself in Oceania with two PS3s. Below are my findings.
Setup - Gal starter fit with basic knives, and no skills into proficiency and no damage mods. A "hit" is counted as both knives connecting.
1) An uncharged hit deals 204 HP in damage, regardless to whether it is against shields or against armor.
2) A charged hit deals 448 HP in damage, which is again the same against both shields and armor.
Given the base damage of basic knives as 90 per knife, we can extrapolate the actual base damage for the other knives as follows:
Basic (90 HP) - 204 HP uncharged, 448 HP charged
Advanced (150 HP) - 340 HP uncharged, 747 HP charged
Proto (200 HP) - 453 HP uncharged, 996 HP charged
TL;DR
1) Knives do the same amount of damage against both shields and armor.
2) The actual multipliers for damage dealt are 2.267x for uncharged and 4.978x for charged, where x is the base damage per single knife.
With 3x complex sidearm damage mods, a proto Minja with Lvl5 proficiency will deal 1809 DMG with a charged hit, which is 1 HP short of OHKing the highest HP suit possible - a fully HP stacked Gallente Heavy in 1.8 (assuming there are no changes to damage mods and the heavy resistance bonuses don't count towards Nova Knives). Every other suit is toast. |

Lv5 Min Scout - 250HP per blade, so 567HP per uncharged and 1244HP per charged
Lv5 Min Scout + Prof 5 - 287HP per blade, so 651HP per uncharged and 1429HP per charged
Lv5 Min SCout + Prof 5 + 3x Complex Dmg Mods - 324HP per blade, so 734HP per uncharged and 1613HP per charged
Based on the above, I don't feel it's worth it to go past the 262HP per blade base damage mentioned in my earlier post unless you rely on the uncharged swipe for your first strike instead of the charged, or you want to be able to take out most mediums with a single blade charge shot hit (806HP per knife).
Anyone else planning on running Nova Knives primary for the sidearm event? :D |
