Influence cleave variant — Voltaic Strike and Shocking Touch feed Electric arcs while Blood Rush and Galvanized Steel turn combo into pack-clear crits between heavies.

Loadout

Exilus on top, then eight general slots. Weapons have no Aura slot.

Mods Explained

Why each mod is in this Syam loadout.

  • Primed Reach

    Reach stays in Exilus so Influence cleaves tag the whole lane — Syam’s 2.5m base still wants the primed bump.

  • Decisive Judgement

    Stance remains for nikana flow — Influence Cleave still benefits from Judgement’s heavy-friendly strings when you need a finisher.

  • Condition Overload

    Status-stacking damage for Influence DPS — Electric and primed statuses feed CO on every cleave.

  • Galvanized Steel

    Crit chance and stacking crit damage that ramp with melee kills — turns Influence swings into reliable crits.

  • Weeping Wounds

    Combo-scaling status chance so Electric sticks fast enough for Influence to arc through Steel Path packs.

  • Blood Rush

    Combo crit chance that pairs with Galvanized Steel — high combo means Influence crit density on every slash.

  • Galvanized Elementalist

    Status damage and chance that amplify Electric Influence ticks — Elementalist makes the cleave DoTs scale.

  • Voltaic Strike

    Electric + status dual-stat so Melee Influence has a reliable Electric source without burning a pure damage slot.

  • Shocking Touch

    Flat Electric damage that doubles down on Influence arcs — more Electric weight means stronger chain clears.
