Dog questions

[(XBOX)Tr8ter83]

So basically I am just starting to get sisters of parvos and i noticed the fact that they added robo dogs and i was wondering what is the the best/cool looking pupper for general use

Unfortunately none of the hounds are that useful IMO. It is novel to have a different type of companion but they are pretty squishy despite having access to the link mods. Personally I don't find any of their precepts useful enough to make me want to use them. They have dedicated melee weapons but companion AI is fairly derpy. Using them for DPS is generally not that helpful.

They also don't retain the cool holographic projection of the progenitor's head. After they are obtained they're just generic robot dogs. Hopefully this will be changed, as the holographic head is one of the coolest features of the enemy variant. 

Honestly I'm really surprised there is not some form of damage mitigation gained from these things considering how they work with the Sisters (damage reduced by 20% while pet is alive, for example).

I've been having fun with mine, been using them in sister fights and Steel Path and they're quite good to my surprise for no Forma on them only a potato, I only have to revive them now and then, they surprised me how well they do in those higher missions.

 

The Hound in the below picture is just a run of the mill Sisters Lich that I got after stabbing her, I haven't bothered to build any and the one below is the nicest looking out of all of them imo. For a zero Forma Hound they are surprisingly good.

For some unknown reason (which I think was a bug) the three of them were fighting a Corrupted Heavy Gunner in Oxomoco last night and while I was watching the hounds beating the Corrupted Heavy Gunner up they shrunk it down to their size which spun me out.

In terms of looks its subjective. 

But, my favourite would have to be Bhaira model with null audit, reflex denial and aerial prospectus. Null audit steals eximus buffs from enemies which is super handy. Reflex denial reflects damage. And aerial prospectus shoots an orbital strike and I just think its cool as hell.
