"Unique Heavy Attack throws a glaive projectile that bounces off surfaces once before flying back to the user.
- The glaive and its AoE have a 3x damage multiplier.
- Glaive is considered a heavy attack and benefits from heavy attack related mods.
- If the [Glaive] hits an enemy, it will ricochet towards 1 other nearby enemy."

Why do we use?
G Reflex? -- For initial combo but more importantly, combo efficiency stacking with Focus Energy for 90%. Forcing a reliance on Kai when we want to aim / time our heavy glaive throw properly doesn't mix, so its better for us to just go raw efficiency
PPP -- Necessary base damage
Default x12 combo mods for scaling
Amalgam Shatter -- For crit damage and heavy wind up speed
- Can be traded for Galv Steel for an easier time getting orange / potential reds
DEFAULT Elementalist -- For general multix status damage and heavy wind up speed
Smite -- For double dipping electric and triple dipping influence, must slot if able.
- Optional, tradable for preference crit
Focus Energy -- Stacking efficienty + electric for influence.
Influence -- For distance aoe clearing with electric which is multiplied by modded electric and triple dipped from Smite

What the Hell is 'Double Dipping'?
People often use 'dipping' out of context and wrong, so i will explain. Dipping refers to when a specific value or multiplier appears in multiple damage formulas during the final damage calculation.
When it IS double dipping -- One value is applied to multiple formulas, say (1x) Our Smite multiplier appears once in base damage formula, (2x) a second time in status DoT formula, and in our case, (x3) Smite appears a third time in the formula for Melee Influence. Our Smite mod has been therefore 'triple dipped'.
When it is NOT dipping – One value is applied to a single formula multiple times, this is when a value is squared, not double dipped. For example, and to stay with the topic, some people like to say that electric is able to double dip from enemy part multipliers and triple dip from faction bonuses, but this is not how that works. When electric counts part multipliers a second time, it is doing so in the same damage formula, so electric is squaring the bonus, not double dipping it. So in such case we would say that electric is squaring (applying twice) a headshot bonus and double dipping a faction mod.
