Well, I have taken down a G/1 Sentinel with standard nova knives, so killing sentinels is not out of the question. Just a safe bet not to.

Then the only reason you took down the Sentinel was because either A) the Sentinel user was new to that specialty and didn't fit his suit properly or B) didn't have his core skills maxed out beforehand and was a glass cannon at the time.

Uh, it was 2 charged strikes plus two uncharged.

That puts it at 2(480) + 2(240) = 1440, not including my 5% proficiency. No Min bonus.

It's likely for a GalSent to run 1440+ hP. I'm going to go with his unmaxed core skills and my unprecedented luck. Pretty sure he was in a stompsquad that time.

Wait, what? That math doesn't make sense. A standard nova knife without min bonus and not including proficiency can't possibly make that much damage. According to Protofits, a standard nova knife has a base damage of 166.68 HP and that's with max proficiency with 3 complex sidearm damage mods on but without the suit bonus. That brings the damage to 833.4 HP with both strikes and fully charged.

Assuming you wore a bonused minscout suit, that would bring the total up to 1041.75 HP, not 1440 HP on standard knives. Are you sure you didn't incidentally fit Ishukones?

Are you sure you didn't incidentally fit Ishukones? Absolutely sure they were standard. I thought each blade dealt 120 DMG? Both blades in one slash connecting for 240 DMG. Charged doubles it to 480. Two charged swipes bringing it to 960. Where in this did it go wrong? Henrietta Reborn
