Here is an Hybrid build focused on dealing big damage with [Syam]'s unique Heavy Attacks. This build has some interesting synergies with [Voruna] and is intended to be used exclusively with her.
As we want to use Heavy Attacks without any restriction, [Voruna]'s third passive, which gives 100% (capped at 90%) Heavy Attack efficiency, must be active permanently. By doing so, we can remove [Reflex Coil] from the build for an extra free slot.
[Syam]'s Heavy attacks send out Heat shockwaves. The first Heavy Attack releases an horizontal shockwave that deals 500 Heat damage. The second releases a vertical shockwave that deals 1500 Heat damage.
These shockwaves scale from Crit, CO, Combo Counter and elemental damage mods.
[Voruna] first ability, Shroud of Dynar, force Slash procs without even modding for it. Consequently, we don't need to keep Slash our higher priority when using light attacks to clear trash mobs, increasing our combo counter at the same time. BTW we're opting for raw damage to increase the elemental damage multiplier of [Syam]'s shockwaves and choose Viral as our element of choice.
When active, Shroud of Dynar also adds 100% status chance to your weapon, removing the need to slot [Weeping Wounds].
The same ability adds a flat critical damage buff on your weapon, based on [Voruna]'s power strength, that our showkwaves will benefit a lot.
As said before, shockwaves scale from [Condition Overload] so we'll be using [Voruna]'s third ability, Fangs of Raksh, to apply tons of status effects.
We don't have enough room for any attack speed mod, so Arcane Strike is mandatory to clear trash mobs easily.
Anyway, [Gladiator Might] is the flex slot. Depending on mission types, you may replace it by [Primed Reach] in Survival missions.
Lastly, Tharros Strike is subsumed in place of [Voruna]'s 4th ability to strip enemy defenses, adding 75% extra damage from Viral and 25% extra damage from Heat to Cloned Flesh.
