Why each mod is in this Syam loadout.
Exilus range so heavy sweeps and Heat shockwaves clip more bodies — Syam waves want radius as much as raw mult.
Nikana stance with strong heavy efficiency when Condition Overload is online — the stance slot that fits Shockwave Tennokai.
Base damage that multiplies Syam’s Heat shockwaves separately from Condition Overload — PPP + CO is the heavy-wave formula.
Per-status multiplier that also scales shockwave damage — primed targets make every Tennokai wave hit like a truck.
Umbra crit chance so Tennokai heavies and shockwaves crit on contact — Syam’s 22% base needs the floor raised.
Heavy crit damage plus slide utility — fattens Shockwave Tennokai crits when Discipline’s Merit opens a window.
Heavy attack damage and wind-up speed — the namesake heavy multiplier on every Tennokai shockwave.
Tennokai consistency so heavy waves fire every four hits instead of waiting on random windows — Duviri heavy flex cadence.
Heat + status that feeds Syam’s innate Heat shockwave scaling — more Heat weight means hotter waves on every heavy.
Frame builds that list Syam in Arsenal.
