CODEX

Tear and chew through enemies with this unusual crankshaft-style greatsword.

There remains a shallow trench through the ruins. As if some colossal boulder had crashed from the manse and rolled down the hill... but what if it had rolled... up?

Imagine if you will, Karishh's Dax on the day... peering out, dumbstruck by what they saw. They readied no blade, sounded no alarm as the expanding orb of gristle hurtled toward them. And then in a spasm of giblets, Grendel was before them. His 'cutlery' in hand.. the Masseter.

—Drusus

The Masseter is Grendel's signature greatsword with a distinctive crankshaft-shaped blade. In addition to grinding its foes into chunks, Grendel becomes unshakable when he readies a heavy attack.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

This weapon deals primarily Impact damage.

Advantages:

High Impact and Slash damage – effective against shields and health.
High critical chance.
Second highest status chance of all heavy blades, behind Gram Prime.
Tied with the Galatine and Galatine Prime for the fastest attack speed of all heavy blades.
Stance slot has a polarity, matches Rending Crane stance.
Highest slam attack radius of all weapons.

Disadvantages:

No Puncture damage – less effective against armor.
- Damage cannot be increased with Puncture mods.

Acquisition[edit | edit source]

The Masseter's blueprint can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.

Notes[edit | edit source]

When wielded by Grendel, he is immune to crowd control procs during Heavy Attacks.

Tips[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The masseter muscle is one of four muscles responsible for chewing.
Keeping with Grendel's design being inspired by Oni, the Masseter's design is based on the Kanabō, a studded, two-handed club used by samurai. The cumbersome nature of the kanabō resulted in the weapon being associated with oni due to their great strength.
- The close associations between oni and kanabō in Japanese culture have resulted in the phrase oni-ni-kanabō (鬼に金棒, "[giving a] kanabō to oni") to describe giving further advantages to a powerful opponent, which may be the basis for Grendel's immunity to crowd control effects while preparing a heavy attack with the Masseter.
When Masseter is used to perform an attack, its rotation will ramp up for a short period of time and eventually slow back to an idle speed.
- Manual guard (holding right-mouse button) will lock Masseter in the idle rotation, regardless of current speed.
