CODEX

With these blazing fast nunchaku, the enemy will never know what hit them.

The Shaku are a set of Impact-based Tenno Nunchaku, featuring a fast attack rate. The Shaku are considered an alternative to the Ninkondi rather than a direct upgrade, despite using the Ninkondi as a component.

Characteristics

This weapon deals  Impact damage.

Advantages:

• Pure Impact damage – effective against shields.
• Good critical chance.
• Very high status chance.
• Fastest attack speed of all nunchaku.

Disadvantages

• No Puncture or Slash damage – less effective against armor and health.

Acquisition

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

Tips

• As the Shaku only has Impact as its native damage type, it benefits greatly from mods that increase Impact damage, namely  Heavy Trauma and  Collision Force.

Trivia

• Between Update 18.0 and Hotfix 18.0.6.1, the Shaku was unintentionally leaked through the Tenno Research Lab before being retrieved.
• The Shaku is the second weapon in game after the Sonicor to possess only a single physical damage type as its innate damage type.
• A shaku (尺) is a Japanese unit of measurement originally referring to the length of the forearm, which in modern usage is commonly standardized as being 30.3 cm long, and is the traditional length with which the branches of a nunchaku are made.
  • The term is also used to refer to a ritual baton used by Shinto priests, and is so named due to its length.
