Pennant’s Attributes

The Pennant is a fast weapon that can cut through foes with relative ease thanks to its high critical chance and multiplier. The Pennant will temporarily gain an attack speed buff whenever you slay an enemy with its heavy attack, and it stacks as well.

The Pennant deals very high puncture damage, making it very effective against armored targets. On the flip side, it deals incredibly low slash and impact damage, so don’t use it against targets with health or shields.

The Pennant innate attack speed is very low, so it’s important to get the attack speed buff as fast as you can. You don’t need to be constantly using heavy attacks, you just need the finishing blow to be one. Remember that the attack speed buff stacks, so try to finish off every single enemy with heavy attacks.

That’s all there is to the Pennant. If you have any other tips or questions, let us know in the comments below!
