Gara modding questions

[L058]

I know Gara’s shattered lash, and therefore wall pop, and from there damage added to splinter storm scale off melee mods, but do rivens work? Also does steel charge effect the damage at all?

i haven’t gotten enough rep with Simaris to unlock the simulacrum, and I got tired of waiting to find out.

As others have said, Rivens do work, as does Spoiled_Strike/ect and and syndicate augments, which is why the Jaw sword is considered a good meta choice.

The idea riven would have max melee damage, 2 elemental damages and a trivial negative.

I've heard some confusion whether arcanes and set mods, like the proton ones, work, but that wouldn't be too hard to test.

Just remember, while the 120% physical mods can wash into lash too, they will only effect one of it's modes.

Rivens do work

Steel charge does increase the damage
Rivens also work, but only + dmg and + elementals if I remembered correctly.

Thanks, that helps

Puncture and Slash also works and is more optimal but you have to use the corresponding version of Gara's 1 to store more damage....

i had the same question today and asked in the chat. Went to the simulacrum to test somethings with lvl 50 heavy gunners, here's what i found:

Corrosive projection-9700 damage with shattered lash

Steel charge-9500 damage with shattered lash

After this i proceeded to break one mass vitrify with my splinter storm on and a melee weapon modded specifically for this skill with no riven the following happened:

Corrosive projection i stacked-12k

Steel Charge i stacked-14.5k

If your main goal is to reach the maxed stacked number with splinter storm then you're better off taking Steel charge, along with the capacity points it offers and will probably allow you to put something that helps with the loss of Corrosive projection, in a team scenario i'm pretty sure CP will be the superior option in most cases.
