Characteristics[]

Notes[]
- The Akaten,
Batoten and Lacerten are all statistically identical (speed, critical, status, etc.) other than their physical damage types. All three are 50%/50% split between two physical damages, with the three weapons covering the three possible combinations. - Akaten only uses standard melee attacks. It does not allow the Hound to block or perform special attacks, nor does it have its own combo counter.
- As such, Akaten cannot equip mods that affect heavy attacks (e.g. Killing Blow), slide attacks (e.g. Maiming Strike), combo counter (e.g. Blood Rush), finishers (e.g. Finishing Touch), or blocking (e.g. Focused Defense). It also cannot equip any Set Mods (e.g. Gladiator Might).
- As such, Akaten cannot equip mods that affect heavy attacks (e.g.
Patch History[]
Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)
- Fixed being able to equip Tennokai Mods onto Sentinel weapons such as Akaten (since they do not benefit from them and take up valuable Mod slots).
- If you had Tennokai Mods equipped to your Sentinel’s Weapon, they have been automatically unequipped.
Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)
- Fixed being able to equip Umbra Forma to Sisters of Parvos Hound weapons. (They can’t equip Umbra mods so this was just a trap for the unwary)
Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)
- Introduced.
