Understand Knux
Useful when…
- Normal melee attacks where Impact makes up most listed damage.
- A higher-status chance among the Arch-Melee examples supplied.
Attack profile
The normal attack is listed at speed 1 and deals 445 total damage: 400.5 Impact, 22.25 Puncture and 22.25 Slash. It has 13% critical chance, a 2× multiplier and 30% status chance. Range is 2.5, blocking angle 90 degrees, follow-through 0.7 and combo duration 5 seconds. Slam, heavy attack and heavy slam each list 445 damage; no separate special mode is described.
Investment and construction
Knux requires mastery rank 7, reaches rank 30 and has a Vazarin polarity. Its 30% status chance and Impact-heavy split are the main supported reasons to consider it. The components list includes clan research material, Forma, Gallium and other parts, with a listed build price and 24-hour build time. No research location or repair mechanic is specified.
Comparisons
Kaszas has a higher listed critical chance of 15% and 2× multiplier, while Knux lists 13% and 2×; their damage distributions differ substantially, with Kaszas heavily Puncture and Knux heavily Impact. Prisma Veritux lists 30% critical chance, and Rathbone 20%, but those comparison summaries do not establish a full handling or status comparison.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its physical damage is overwhelmingly Impact, with relatively little Puncture or Slash.
- Mastery rank 7 and the listed construction inputs make it a more deliberate investment than rank-4 Kaszas.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not mistake the 30% status chance for a guaranteed status effect on every hit.
- Do not assume the clan-related component list identifies a specific research lab or acquisition path.
