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 ProvaVandal Prova Vandal, the regular Prova does not have a guaranteed DmgElectricitySmall64 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 DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity type melee weapons like the PlasmaSword Plasma Sword, Lecta Lecta and Serro Serro. This effect however is shared with the Amphis Amphis, which only deals DmgElectricitySmall64 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.
