The elbow blade is roughly equal to a [[quality|good quality]] [[steel]] [[longsword]] against unarmored enemies, however due to it's only modest amount of sharp penetration falls short against [[armor|armored]] foes. It is not quite as powerful as the [[hand talon]], and falls significantly short when compared to a [[power claw]], [[plasteel]] [[longsword]], or [[uranium]] [[mace]], and so is not particularly useful for a dedicated melee pawn if you have access to these more effective options. |

Being able to give a ranged pawn the melee capabilities of a pawn with a [[steel]] [[longsword]] means that if an enemy raider closes to melee range, your pawn isn't completely defenseless. It also makes you pawns more versatile as they can switch from a ranged to melee role in an instant, and still be effective. This is useful if you need another melee fighter immediately for any reason, whether that be to melee block a choke point but no melee pawn is near/has been downed, or simply see that melee locking an enemy is a more effective way to combat them as they can't shoot back. |

The main drawback of the elbow blade is that it can not be simultaneously used with two [[bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s. [[Manipulation]] above 100% does not affect [[Shooting Accuracy]], and so for a dedicated gunfighter this may not be a significant drawback. However, [[manipulation]] increases [[general labor speed]], meaning that if they have a role within your colony beyond fighting affected by [[manipulation]], such as crafting or constructing, they will be less effective at these roles than they otherwise could be. A pawn can still be equipped with one [[bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]], and one elbow blade without it negatively affecting their melee capabilities after [[Version/1.1.2610|1.1.2610]] changed melee verb selection. | The main drawback of the elbow blade is that it can not be simultaneously used with two [[bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s.

If you choose two [[bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s over one arm and an elbow blade, you also have the option of the [[knee spike]]. The [[knee spike]] is not as effective in combat as the elbow blade however, and has the significant drawback that you then can't install two [[bionic leg|bionic]] or [[archotech leg]]s, which are arguably more important than the arms. In this case you can install [[venom fangs]] which, while the weakest implant of all those mentioned, does not conflict with anything. | If you choose two [[bionic arm|bionic]] or [[archotech arm]]s over one arm and an elbow blade, you also have the option of the [[knee spike]].
