Understand Aklex
Useful when…
- Players who prefer measured, high-damage semi-automatic shots to rapid fire.
- Unlocking at Mastery Rank 4 when the player can accommodate a 3-second reload.
Damage and firing
The Normal Attack is hitscan, semi-automatic, and fires at about 1.58 shots per second. Each shot lists 130 physical damage, of which 104 is Puncture, with 13 Impact and 13 Slash. Critical chance is 20%, critical multiplier 2×, and status chance 10%.
Handling and investment
The magazine holds 12 rounds and reloads in 3 seconds. Accuracy is listed as 9.76, so careful aiming is important, especially when targets are distant or moving. It requires Mastery Rank 4 and has a rank cap of 30. No innate polarity is listed; consider how much investment its deliberate firing style deserves before spending scarce compatible mods.
Alternative dual pistols
Afuris is described as a faster-firing choice with lowered accuracy and reload performance, while Akbolto is a projectile-firing option with different critical properties. Aklato is an earlier Mastery Rank semi-automatic dual-pistol alternative, with its own capacity and reload tradeoffs. None of those descriptions establishes an overall replacement ranking.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Low fire rate limits follow-up shots.
- Long 3-second reload and 12-round magazine interrupt sustained use.
- Accuracy stat favors deliberate shots.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the dual-pistol format as rapid-fire handling.
- Firing the full magazine without planning for a 3-second reload.
