See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

Tips

• When using these remember that you must be really close and therefore expect yourself to be vulnerable to staggers, knockdowns and knockbacks.
• When fighting sprint around while charging and turn to hit at last second then run away for another charge. Basically keep moving or do some evasive maneuvers like roll.
• Occasionally, you may find it hard to hit an enemy even if they are directly in front of you. This may be a small mesh problem associated with the weapons short range.
• Using Reach can effectively aid in hitting targets from slightly further away.

Notes

• The slide attack deals 75 armor-ignoring damage and its critical damage is only 150%.
• The ground execute is 5 attacks dealing 30 for a total of 150 armor-ignoring damage.
• The jump attack deals 25 armor-ignoring damage.
• A good combo is to use the jump slide kick (sprint and then jump and crouch) at an enemy, which will knock them over, allowing you to use the ground execute.

Trivia

• The Ankyros was released on April 19th, 2013 with Update 7.8.
