CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Syam has no innate electric, so this build relies on an external electric-damage buff (Shock Trooper on Volt or any Shock-subsumed frame, or firing through a Gyre Conductive Sphere) to proc Melee Influence.

The mods

Galvanized Reflex holds five combo; Sacrificial Steel plus Amalgam Organ Shatter are heavy crit; Killing Blow is heavy damage; Condition Overload multiplies per status; the electric for Melee Influence comes entirely from the external buff.

Where it struggles

Dead without the electric buff pairing.

Combo upkeep.

Who runs this

Volt, Gyre or Shock-subsume players who want a nikana influence weapon.
