Syam is not weak. In fact, it is actually kind of busted.
For a normal melee weapon, it is definitely not the best.
But this time, the gimmick is actually useful.
So useful, that it overshadows a lot of other melee.

Syam is definitely worse than Nikana Prime as a normal melee. Nikana Prime is roughly 20-30% better as a normal light spam weapon. As a heavy melee, Nikana Prime outperforms Syam by 45%. Yes, the gap is that big. But what it doesn't tell you is how the gimmick of Syam works. It has 500 pure heat damage, and 1500, on the 2 waves it produces. If you want the original heavy force proc slash, you can do that by using a slide heavy. But the wave force procs impact, and is pure heat. Maybe that's why you thought it was bad, because it can't do slash, and corrosive doesn't work too well? The thing is, pure heat super high damage and status is perfect for unconventional builds. Syam is amazing for Gas, full strip Viral, and Heat Inherit Demolyst killing. Why? The wave has 1.0 follow through and loses no damage on enemies it hits in succession. It also travels *over* objects instead of through them. This is actually better, because it allows it to change elevation to snipe out remaining targets. It is particularly useful in climbing side pillars near stair cases to kill enemies. Gas DPS Syam has quadratic scaling, and if you ran Sickening Pulse, would be obnoxious. Viral Syam is just raw DPS, but requires armor strip. Heat Inherit Syam uses innate pure heat to save a mod slot for giga damage.

Cheers!

I now also stream on Twitch! While the main game will probably be Warframe, I am planning on keeping my Twitch on variety, so that I can enjoy other games there. My Youtube will remain focused on Warframe for now.

A useful warframe clock overlay hunters use to keep track of time left in/until night. This is featured in the bottom left corner of all my runs. It also tracks other useful info like arbi and kuva node rotations.
