Akanami

:: MA-ACS Akanami 30 body

Akanami means 'Red Wave' in japaneese

Backup weapons are affected by dexterity in all aspects

Backup weapons cannot be modded however they posses unique abilities:

Primary

  • Charges up a powerful vertical slash, direction of the slash can be manipulated through leaning

Alternative Charged Attack:

  • Overhead Slash: Dash and 0.25x increased headshot multiplier, in addition to all the standard charged attack bonuses.

Secondary

  • Deflect: Deflect incoming bullets, area of effect stretches from middle of the thigh to slightly over the head when standing straight,

When deflecting you receive 25% of the bullet's direct damage and no bullet debuffs (and no t-lock / CB explosion), deflected bullets fly towards your crosshair dealing 50% reduced damage.

Deflecting bullets consumes the aux equal to 25% of the bullet's direct damage, cannot deflect multiple projectiles in a very short window of time (Shotguns)

Quick-melee

  • Dash: Horizontal slash that has increased dash range compared to other backups, direction of the slash can be manipulated through leaning

Passive

  • Can cut enemy nano-wires causing 2s stun and can knockdown if the enemy is airborne, deals increased bleed damage.
