Specialized build for a Weapons Platform Saryn, where her Toxic Lash buff makes any hit inflict a toxin proc/hit. This includes the [Acid Shells] explosion. The odd thing is that the DoT inflicted by that explosion can in turn cause another explosion, which in turn causes another DoT on nearby enemies, which makes more explosions, ad infinitum. I am unsure if this is intended, a bug, or just wack math due to the odd mechanics of Toxic Lash adding effectively a 'second hit' similar to [Xaku]'s 1st Ability [Xata]'s Whisper.
Speaking of which you can use this with [Xaku] as [Xata]'s Whisper effectively double dips the explosion (not exactly how it works but it's not too important). You just take the extra Toxin mod off since that is there to scale with Toxic Lash normally. The main disadvantage with [Xaku] over [Saryn] is there is no DoT to propagate the damage chain.
