“
Guided bullets that pursue their target: Hound.
 ”

–Shiori Usami about Hound.[1],

Hound (誘導弾(ハウンド) or 追尾弾(ハウンド), Haundo ?, lit. Guided Bullet and Tracking Bullet) is a Gunner Trigger.

Appearance

Hound is a projectile which appears as a luminous trail once shot, and which curves to pursue the target. The size of each bullet is directly proportional to the amount of trion the user has. Gunners fire Hound bullets through different types of gun-shaped Triggers, whereas Shooters form a trion cube that can be divided in smaller regular polyhedrons, their size and shape depending on how many are created at once.

Nozomi Kako's customized version[2] is peculiarly sphere-shaped. Instead of dividing, it spawns "bubbles" which can be split in smaller ones.[3]

Overview

The origins of this Trigger are unknown. It was first used by Shooters only, until firearm Triggers were invented.[4]

Abilities

Hound is slightly less powerful than Asteroid,[5] but it has the ability to shoot bullets which automatically pursue the target.[1] It is possible to select between a trion-seeker mode, which causes the bullets to home in on trion bodies, and a guided homing mode, which is directed by eyesight and more precise.[5][6] These functions are disabled at high muzzle velocity.[5] It is possible to lock on multiple targets at once,[7] and, by setting it to seek out trion bodies, it can pursue opponents who are using Chameleon.[8]

Hound is a Trigger that is especially dangerous outdoors, where walls do not limit its movements.[9] The absence of obstacles make it possible to angle the bullets in such a way that they can hit an opponent behind a flat Shield.[10] Shooters can also fire multiple projectiles at the same time so they all attack the target from a different direction, making it even harder to defend oneself.[3] Hound also allows the user to exploit the presence of structures that restrict vision: they can in fact shoot over said obstacle, after which the bullet will home in on the target, catching them by surprise.[11] Even if the opponent manages to block the projectiles, their attention will be diverted, leaving them open to follow-up attacks from other angles.[12] Yet another possible application of Hound is the bombardment of an area through Radar,[13] which is also a second method to counter Chameleon users.[8]

Aside from its unique shape and division method, any additional abilities possessed by the customized Hound used by Kako are still unknown.

Combined with Meteor, Hound can create the composite bullet Salamander, which pursues the target and explodes on impact.[14] The merging of two Hounds takes the name of Hornet.[15] Its characteristics are still unknown.

    A: The order is that Shooter came first. There are those suited for handling cube bullets and those who aren't, so gun triggers were developed so that anyone can use bullets with a high degree of accuracy, and Gunners were derived.
