A warrior who prefers brute force will make the most of Sampotes. Its Slams and Heavy Slams have an extended area of effect.

Sampotes is a Duviri Hammer wielded by Dax Malleus. Its Slam and Heavy Slam attacks generate multiple shockwaves, ragdolling enemies and sending them flying.

Characteristics[]

This weapon deals primarily Impact damage.
Stance slot has polarity, matching Crushing Ruin stance.
Unique Slam Attack unleashes a line of 8 explosions every 5 meters, each dealing ? damage in a 5 meter radius.
- Specific Stance Combos that contain slams can trigger the line of explosions too
Unique Heavy Slam Attack unleashes 3 lines of 4 explosions in a fan, each dealing ? damage in a 7 meter radius.

Drifter Combat[]

Power Strike (blocking + heavy attack, default RMB + MMB ) slams the ground to release a shockwave that travels forward in a line, inflicting Heat damage with guaranteed procs.
- Ground slam can hit the same target multiple times.

Melee Attack Explanations
A "sweep attack" is an arcing melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the edge of the blade (the length of obround melee hitbox). A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range.

Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations.
Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations.
Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.
Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart.
Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Notes[]

Although not listed, the Sampotes has a unique Heavy Attack that ragdolls the enemy rather than applying Lifted.

Shockwaves[]

The shockwaves created by its Slam and Heavy Slam attacks have extreme ragdolling properties, making the Sampotes an effective crowd control melee.
Each enemy hit by the Slam shockwaves will add 4 hits to the Melee Combo counter.
Unaffected by additional combo count chance modifiers: Is always 4.
Heavy Slam Shockwave Damage unaffected by combo counter.
