Note: There is a Red Slot at [Sundering Strike] to make it fit with the polarities of the Melee Influence Gas Electric bomb build.
Whenever you are NOT using Ceramic Dagger, Replace Sundering Strike with Corrupt Charge

EVOLUTIONS
Evo 2: Gun and Blade. Adds a small amount of flat base damage (approx 72) to Shattered Lash and after 100 kills with a primary (also bugged to be secondary atm), gain +100 initial combo.
Evo 3: Adept Reflexes. +20 initial combo, giving x7 initial combo permanently when combined with Gun and Blade. This gives Shattered Lash a permanent 2.5x final multiplier.
Evo 4: Absolute Valor. +30%CC, doesnt really affect [Gara] since crits don't work on Mass Vitrify or Splinter Storm.
