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 considered a Machete-type weapon, using the same animations, and thus can only use the Sundering Weave stance.

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  type melee weapons like the Plasma Sword, Lecta and Serro. This effect however is shared with the Amphis, which only deals status proc on its jump attack.
• Prova is Italian for "evidence" or "proof", which in turn is derived from its Latin equivalent proba.
