Penance is a Repro-type augment. When obtained, it trails behind the user and will fire a spinning scythe horizontally at any enemy it lines up with every 2 seconds, dealing 10 damage plus an additive 5% damage for every point of bonus attack strength the user has. Each point of attack strength below the default the player has will reduce the damage by a subtractive 5%, capping at -90% damage with -18 attack strength. Additionally, scythes will mark enemies they hit for 3 seconds, and pierce enemies they kill. If a marked enemy is hit by a Power or Technique, they take 1.5x damage from the attack, and their mark is removed.

Picking up more than one Penance raises its level by 1, increasing its projectile speed slightly and increasing its base damage by 5. With the Zookeeper's Set Bonus active, its attack speed is doubled.
