Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Puncture damage.

Advantages

• High  Puncture damage – effective against health.
• Innate polarity slot.

Disadvantages

• Second lowest base damage of all scythes, ahead of the  Caustacyst.
  • Low  Impact and  Slash damage – less effective against shields.
• Stance slot has a polarity, does not match the Conclave-only  Shadow Harvest stance.

Trivia

• The Anku's design is inspired by the  Paris, in the same manner that the  Redeemer ,  Dual Raza and  Boltace are based off the designs of the  Tigris,  Soma and  Boltor respectively.
• The Anku is the first scythe that is built in the Clan Dojo.
• When it was initially released, the Anku had a stance polarity, which did not match either stances available at the time. This was later corrected in Hotfix 16.7.1, giving the Anku its current stance polarity.
• The Anku's blade folds down into the handle when stowed away.
• The Anku's name is likely a reference to two words;
  • Anku is the Quechuan word for flexible or elastic, which likely refers to the three strings that retract the Anku's blade when it is holstered.
  • Ankou is a personification of death in Breton and French folklore. He is usually depicted as a skeleton wearing a cloak and a large-brimmed hat, along with wielding a scythe.
