After playing around with a several loadouts, I've come to the conclusion that if a weapon is dealing more than half of its physical damage as Slash, it is able to slice up their bodies.

Because the Vasto already deals exactly half of its damage as Slash, you can test this yourself by using your Vasto (or Akvasto, though i couldn't test this yet) with a Maim or Razor Shot, any rank should do the trick. Similarily, if you use both Maim and Razor Shot with sufficiently high ranks on your Akstiletto, it'll suddenly start turning everything into pretty piles of minced meat.

This is therefore unrelated to the fact that i was using Hornet Strike and Heated Charge at first. The added slash damage alone will make the difference. Feel free to use your base-damage and elemental mods in any combination you want.
