When tested in-game, with both people with Red Katars that were fully charged, and opposite people wearing Quantum and Gem Armor, took about 7 minutes of non-stop hits to eventually kill the person with Gem Armor and an Active Nano Saber 100 hits, though it is heavily not advised as a Nano Saber will deplete before reaching 100 hits (without a lappack), and is much more effective against Nano Suit users than non-Nano Suit users, but with a Red Katar, it is the best melee weapon to defeat a person with this armour. With a Red Katar, it takes 86 hits to kill somebody with a full set of this armour. It yields a 90% damage reduction and technically gives the player 1000 HP.
