Understand Tenet Grigori
Useful when…
- Consider the described Heavy Slide Attack when you want to launch a ricocheting disk and can build Combo Counter size to extend its stated lifetime.
- Use the holstered combo-timer pause when planning to switch between this melee weapon and other equipment.
- Evaluate its normal and slam attacks separately from the Heavy Slide Attack mechanic.
Heavy Slide Attack and combo upkeep
The weapon description says a Heavy Slide Attack launches a spinning energy disk that ricochets through the battlefield. Its lifetime is derived from Combo Counter size; the Granum Attaché system pauses the combo timer while the weapon is holstered. The description gives no lifetime formula, so it supports using combo size as a consideration without specifying how long a given counter value keeps the disk active.
Normal attacks and listed attack entries
The Normal Attack deals 9.1 Impact, 82.1 Puncture, and 136.8 Slash damage, with 24% critical chance, a 1.6× critical multiplier, and 38% status chance. The details also list an Energy Disk attack with 1,360 Impact, 1,360 Slash, and 1,360 Puncture damage. Separately, Slam Attack lists 456 Impact damage, with falloff from 0 to 8 m and 50% reduction; Heavy Slam Attack lists 684 Blast damage, with falloff from 0 to 9 m and 30% reduction. The Heavy Slide Attack description and Energy Disk entry are distinct pieces of information; the details do not explain a relationship between them.
Investment and other melee profiles
Tenet Grigori has a rank cap of 40, a five-second combo duration and one Madurai polarity. Tenet Livia is another Mastery Rank 14 Granum Attaché weapon, but it is a two-handed nikana; its description says blocked attacks can increase its blocking angle. Caustacyst is a scythe whose heavy attacks unleash an acid wave and leave corrosive sludge. Quassus is a warfan that scatters ethereal daggers, described as more accurate in Xaku's hands. These alternatives have different weapon types or attack mechanics.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The signature disk requires a Heavy Slide Attack, and its lifetime depends on Combo Counter size.
- No formula is given for converting combo size into disk lifetime.
- The five-second combo duration is a consideration when managing combo, though the Granum Attaché system pauses the timer while holstered.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume combo size increases the disk's damage; the description ties combo size to lifetime.
- Do not treat the listed Energy Disk damage values as an explanation of the Heavy Slide Attack disk's damage or behavior.
