Understand Diversified Denial
Useful when…
- Add three temporary Specters that fight alongside the Hound.
- Use a zero-base-drain Hound precept for additional attack presence.
Effect and scaling
At rank 0, Diversified Denial creates three Specters for 5 seconds, each dealing 35% of the Hound's damage. Rank 3 raises that to 20 seconds and 65%; rank 5 reaches 30 seconds and 85%. The Specters cannot use abilities. These are per-Specter damage shares, not a stated total damage calculation.
Fitting and investment
This Rare standard Hound mod has Penjaga polarity, base drain 0, and maximum rank 5. The rank 4 to 5 step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Ranking it raises both duration and the fraction of Hound damage dealt by each Specter, so that step matters most when you want those improvements.
Other Hound precepts
The listed alternatives provide distinct effects: Evasive Denial gives the Hound a 75% chance to dodge enemy fire for 8 seconds; Reflex Denial reflects 90% of damage taken in pulses as Magnetic damage within 12 m over 10 seconds; Aerial Prospectus calls an Orbital Strike on an enemy within 27 m, dealing 1,200 Blast damage in a 7 m radius. They offer evasion, reflected damage, or an attack instead of Diversified Denial's temporary Specters.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Specters provide temporary attacks but cannot use abilities.
- The final rank step requires 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the Specters to use Hound abilities.
- Reading each Specter's damage share as the combined damage of all three.
