## Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  damage.

**Advantages**

* High  damage – effective against Infested, Flesh and Cloned Flesh.
* Blocking absorbs elemental damage.
* High blocking percentage.
* High critical chance.
* Can use the Ack & Brunt-exclusive {{#vardefine:Name|Electromagnetic Shielding}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found mod.

**Disadvantages**

* Low  and  damage – less effective against shields and armor.
* Low status chance.
* Slow attack speed.

## Notes

* Blocking absorbs elemental damage from enemy attacks.
* The absorbed damage is added *additively* to the next attack.
* Up to four stacks of elemental damage can be absorbed.
	+ Each stack adds **~17.5%** of the total damage, which amounts to **+~70%** damage at four stacks.
* Elemental damage taken by nearby allies can be converted to stacks via {{#vardefine:Name|Electromagnetic Shielding}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found.

## Tips

* The Conclave:Ack & Brunt's high critical hit chance makes it ideal for {{#vardefine:Name|Berserker}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, which can be used to compensate for its slow attack speed.
* Using the Conclave:Ack & Brunt with {{#vardefine:Name|Final Harbinger}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, {{#vardefine:Name|Blood Rush}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found and/or Gladiator Mods allows players to quickly gather hits for the Combo Counter, rapidly boosting the Conclave:Ack & Brunt's critical chance.
* Absorbing enemy attacks allows players to almost double the amount of damage they can deal.
	+ This is useful when focusing on taking down heavy units in a crowd.
* Channeling while blocking will prevent players from taking too much damage while collecting stacks.
	+ Do note however that stacks are expended if an enemy melee attack is parried.
		- Stacks expended while parrying do not increase the amount of damage reflected.
* (Corrupted) Bombard rockets can add up to two stacks of elemental damage, allowing players to collect stacks faster.

## Trivia

* This is the weapon of choice for Tyl Regor following {{#vardefine:Update|Update 17.0 }}{{#var:Update}}, though instead of holding the weapon, Tyl Regor is able to attach the axe and shield to the ends of his cybernetic limbs in place of his Knux hands. Regor, however, explicitly refers to Ack as a gavel.
	+ Before {{#vardefine:Update|Update 17.0 }}{{#var:Update}}, his weapon of choice was the Skana.
* Tyl Regor uses a different design for the shield, as it is normally part of his helmet/headdress (or perhaps vice-versa). The Tenno version presumably adapts the shield to collapse so that it does not take up as much room when stowed.
* The text on the inner part of the shield translates to "Meat Protector".

## Bugs

* Blocking shots fired from Detron Crewmen doesn't absorb  damage or collect stacks.
