Tips

 * When using these, remember that you must be really close and therefore expect yourself to be vulnerable to staggers, knockdowns and knockbacks.
 * When fighting sprint around while charging and turn to hit at last second then run away for another charge. Basically keep moving or do some evasive maneuvers like roll.
 * Occasionally, you may find it hard to hit an enemy even if they are directly in front of you. This may be a small mesh problem associated with the weapons short range.
 * Using Reach can effectively aid in hitting targets from slightly further away.

Trivia

 * One of the phased skins released during the Steam Winter Sale of 2013 was for the Ankyros. This was the rarest one available, with only 10 known copies crafted.
