Best pick

Shockwave Tennokai

GeneralTennokai / Heat shockwaves5 forma

Duviri nikana heavy flex — Decisive Judgement heavies fire Heat shockwaves while Primed Pressure Point and Condition Overload multiply the wave, and Discipline’s Merit keeps Tennokai on cadence.

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

    Exilus range so heavy sweeps and Heat shockwaves clip more bodies — Syam waves want radius as much as raw mult.

  • Decisive Judgement

    Nikana stance with strong heavy efficiency when Condition Overload is online — the stance slot that fits Shockwave Tennokai.

  • Primed Pressure Point

    Base damage that multiplies Syam’s Heat shockwaves separately from Condition Overload — PPP + CO is the heavy-wave formula.

  • Condition Overload

    Per-status multiplier that also scales shockwave damage — primed targets make every Tennokai wave hit like a truck.

  • Sacrificial Steel

    Umbra crit chance so Tennokai heavies and shockwaves crit on contact — Syam’s 22% base needs the floor raised.

  • Amalgam Organ Shatter

    Heavy crit damage plus slide utility — fattens Shockwave Tennokai crits when Discipline’s Merit opens a window.

  • Killing Blow

    Heavy attack damage and wind-up speed — the namesake heavy multiplier on every Tennokai shockwave.

  • Discipline's Merit

    Tennokai consistency so heavy waves fire every four hits instead of waiting on random windows — Duviri heavy flex cadence.

  • Volcanic Edge

    Heat + status that feeds Syam’s innate Heat shockwave scaling — more Heat weight means hotter waves on every heavy.
