-=For the companion weapon to go with this build go to Akaten Hound Primer - The B**** Slap that killed a horde=-
-=This companion pairs Perfectly with Hapa's Cedo Build. Cedo has a unique trait that lets the primary fire deal more damage PER STATUS. Very powerful weapon.=-
-=Any melee weapon with a decent Condition Overload build will synergize with this hound perfectly. I prefer to use Tatsu Prime - Steel Path Viable - Status Death Monster=-

See below for Configs, where to get mods, video guide & how to make your hound.

== PH for YT video ==

Config A:
If you plan to melee while in missions, this would be your best Config to use.
Primed Pack Leader will help with hound survivability as you give it free overguard when it is in your melee attacks.

Config B:
If you do NOT intend to melee much in your missions; replace Primed Pack Leader with Enhanced Vitality.

Config C:
If you are using a frame with high armor and/or health (Such as [Nidus], [Lavos], [Inaros], etc) Replace the Metal Fiber & Enhanced Vitality with Link Fiber & Link Vitality.
This build with my [Nidus], The Hound has over 2k Armor and over 2500 Health, ontop of what it can already do, it is a tank.~

If you do not have the new bond mods, I will list where to get the ones you need.
The Business - Fortuna === Momentous Bond
Master Teasonai - Cetus === Manifold Bond
Son - Necralisk === Contagious Bond

Now, let's talk about building your Hound!
The Model and the [Stabilizer] 'technically' do not matter and you can pick the one you think looks the best. However! Both of these pieces along with the Bracket give your hound a default mod.

If you are looking for efficiency you will want to build it as below.
Model - Bhaira = Comes with Null Audit
Core - Raiju **OR Garmr
Bracket - Cela = Comes with Reflex Denial
Stabilizer - Hinta = Comes with Synergized Prospectus
This will give your hound the look of 1212. You will still need to steal the [Akaten] from the Hec model.

If You are looking for perfection you will want to build it as below, and correct the mods on your own by making another hound and stealing the mods you need.
Model - Bhaira
Core - Garmr
Bracket - Urga
Stabilizer - Hinta
This will give your hound the look of 1222
This build will give your hound the most Armor and Health possible.
