Warframe: Context & Issues

[Abstractions]

Incorrect: "The Sentient knew the tower was the future of its race. The Sentient threw itself at the tower, no longer cautious, taking great losses and knowing the prize was worthy of it. Should it succeed all losses would be replaced a thousand-fold. This is when, across the Plains, the great pylons ignited for the first time. Sheets of energy sprung up between them, powered by the will of the Unum at their epicenter, trapping the monstrosity within. Loyal Gara, unwilling to heed inaction any longer, broke from the side of the Unum and flew out at night, her eyes on the Sentient mind."

"The Sentient, torn between its coveted prize and a mortal threat, broke from the Tower and turned back on itself from noble Gara. But Gara's eyes were not for the Sentient - but for the glittering, man-sized device resting just beyond the gates. It had not been there before, but it was there now. It swatted Gara from the sky, drew it to herself, meaning to end her life there and then. The battle was terrible. Gara sustained injuries she would not survive. But! In her final moments brave Gara seized upon the device her beloved Unum had crafted, seized it to her breast, and allowed the Sentient to draw her in one final time. Toward its core. Toward the seat of its intelligence. From within the Sentient unfurled myriad feelers, probles, tendrils - viciously-toothed and made for killing. They swept towards Gara, violently, and the Glass Warrior made no defense. Her defense was her final attack. The device detonated, and the Unum cried out as night lit as day. The battle - the terror - was ended. The Tower walls shook. The Sentient's body shuddered, wracked by a cacophonous energy. Forests fell as piece after piece, giant body after giant body crashed to the Plains and marshes and flatlands. Animals fled in spreading waves from pounding sky-high walls of dust, angered and whipped to fury by the death of a god. The last of Gara's energy arced from body-to-body, machine-to-machine, piece-to-piece, a horizon-wide applause of light beautiful and terrible. And then... silence. All was still.

Thank you for correcting me, but this doesn't support Gara either.

She needed preparation with a device that would detonate and sacrifice them both, she physically could not contend with the Sentient as she would be able to in the daytime, where the Sentient would be much weaker.

Np but it does show that the Sentient even being stated to try to kill Gara with each strike against Gara, she still tanked it's attacks repeatedly, but that's all I was getting at with that it didn't matter to the discussion as a whole.

So what are the conclusions here?

I don't agree with the idea of Covert Lethality being a OHK by virtue of it not working on bosses, and it be a simple Stat Amp like other mods.

What do you think about Covert Lethality? OHK or just stat amp to an insane degree (unlike any other stat amp in the game)?

@Abstractions

Okay.

Would it fall under Durability Negation since it doesn't deal an insane amount of damage on everyone, it just deals "enough" to kill them?

It adds 100 damage to daggers before mods, so it's a stat amp.

Finishers themselves already bypass armor values.

Oh true.
