CODEX

Leave your mark with these infected claws with increased heavy attack range. Heavy attack at max combo to keep the extended range and slam radius for three minutes.

Keratinos are Infested claws that grow in length to perform a deadly spin attack for Heavy Attacks. The claws stay in their increased range for 3 minutes when a heavy attack is executed at full combo.

• Stance slot has polarity, matching  Vermillion Storm,  Four Riders,  Malicious Raptor and  Scarlet Hurricane (Conclave only) stance.
• It has a unique Heavy Attack:
  • The first attack consists of a spin with 6 hits. The first 3 hits do 100% damage, the next 3 do 100% damage and have forced  Slash procs.
  • The second attack is a lunge with one hit that does 500% damage and has a forced  Slash proc.
  • After executing a heavy attack with max combo the weapon gains 2.8m range to all attacks for 3 minutes.

A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range. View Full Legend Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second. Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart. Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Notes

• One gauntlet and blades blueprints are required to reach Rank 2 - Acquaintance with the Entrati.

Trivia

• The Keratinos' name is most likely derived from Keratin, a fibrous protein which makes up the claws, nails, hair, feathers, and hooves of most animals.
