Batoten is a Hound weapon that pierces through enemies with 
Impact and 
Puncture damage.
This weapon can be sold for 
5,000.
Characteristics[]
Advantages:
- Very high critical multiplier.
- Good status chance.
Disadvantages:
- Low critical chance.
Acquisition[]
The Batoten is automatically acquired upon claiming a Hound configured with the Dorma Model. Note that this weapon also takes up one Sentinel inventory slot.
Notes[]
- The
![Akaten](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="32" height="32"><rect fill-opacity="0"/></svg>)
Akaten, Batoten and Lacerten are all statistically identical (speed, critical, status, etc.) other than their physical damage types. All three are 50%/50% split between two physical damages, with the three weapons covering the three possible combinations. - Batoten only uses standard melee attacks. It does not allow the Hound to block or perform special attacks, nor does it have its own combo counter.
- As such, Batoten cannot equip mods that affect heavy attacks (e.g.

Killing Blow), slide attacks (e.g. Maiming Strike), combo counter (e.g. Blood Rush), finishers (e.g. Finishing Touch), or blocking (e.g. Focused Defense). It also cannot equip any Set Mods (e.g. Gladiator Might).

Patch History[]
Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)
- Hounds: Hound companions already had a moddable weapon, but we rebalanced these from a base of 152 Damage to a base of 300 Damage.
Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)
- Fixed being able to equip Tennokai Mods onto Sentinel weapons such as Batoten (since they do not benefit from them and take up valuable Mod slots).
- If you had Tennokai Mods equipped to your Sentinel’s Weapon, they have been automatically unequipped.
Update 30.7 (2021-09-08)
- Fixed being able to equip Umbra Forma to Sisters of Parvos Hound weapons. (They can’t equip Umbra mods so this was just a trap for the unwary)
Update 30.5 (2021-07-06)
- Introduced.

What range mods even do on this?
Apparently increase accuracy, hounds tend to melee from really far and usually miss
Simps use Akaten, Chads use Batoten. Most of case we already use or utilize slash literally on everywhere. We could spare companion's dmg type to something we do not use very often which can be helpful for any kinds of CO. Puncture can be help on CO so does Impact too while could be used for Shattering Impact mod as well which is an additional benefit.
I'm just gonna say it. You are the "simp" here, due to being wrong and acting like your opinion is the only one that matters here.
Though that's no doubt the rock bottom self esteem of someone who thinks that pathetic comments like yours on fandom hold any weight talking for you huh.
This guy above me is so mad about someone random spitting fact because he is a degenerate. Bravo.
The first guy was right. Batoten is better than Akaten. Slash status damage from Akaten is useless due to low base damage. Hound weapons are not meant to do big damage anyway, but Impact and Puncture still have its utility usefulness. Mod with some elemental mods and combined with Synergized Prospectus, Manifold Bond, and Contagious Bond, your hound can prime a room of enemy with multiple status proc, making it better than Panzer Vulpaphyla which only spread viral.
Question: does condition overload even work? because you can put it in the weapon but i cant reach to a conclusion
Can someone give definitive answer to the the question of attack speed and range on hound weapons ? do they work ?
They have no effect.
If +Attack Speed mods have no effect, does that mean Spoiled Strike would have no reduction in Attack Speed?
Any idea about range on this thing?
Because of the changes to puncture (and to a lesser extent, impact), I would say that the Batoten is the most useful of the three Hound weapons. Puncture now provides final additive critical chance bonus and fewer Impact procs are necessary to get maximum Mercy threshold bonus. The impact damage itself works with Shattering Impact (albeit slowly vs most enemies).
Modding in Radiation and Cold then serves as crowd control and final additive critical damage bonus, which is pretty neat.
They aren't even in the companion weapon list. wtf mate
This is a fan maintained site, and Hounds aren't very popular. Will try and remember to add it later.
Anyone know if hound weapons can be rolled with companion rivens? I have an idea for a build using this hound weapon, the 3 mini-hound mod, shattering impact, healing return, and a crapton of attack speed to basically have undying hounds that strip armor and either crowd control enemies or apply status effects so my galvanized status mods hit harder.
Unless the listing on warframe.market is a lie, which it very well could be, riven mods can be generated for this set of weapons.
Yes I have an Akaten Riven
Just unveiled a Batoten Riven. After years of trying. (-c_-.)
No one gonna even acknowledge the fact that these hound weapons, melee weapons, have MAGAZINE SIZES?
Hello, guy from future here to tell you that no one even acknowledges the hounds themselves.
I acknowledge the hounds for spamming my foundry because I sure won't claim any of these useless things that get forced on you when you just wanted a tenet weapon.
I acknowledge that lady here has a wtong opinion, and has probably deserved every death to their liches and sisters
What class of weapon is it, gun or blade? Melee mods can be slotted into it, but are they providing a benefit?
Blade
Do hound weapons give mastery?
They should.
Yes, after you gild them.
Pretty sure you can't gild the weapons, only the hounds.
The only choice you have
