Seismic Bond is a Companion mod that causes the companion's melee attacks to emit 4-meter shockwaves, as long as a Channeled Ability is active. In addition, the companion's attacks will grant stacking Ability Efficiency to their owner for a brief period.

Notes

• "Channeled abilities" that trigger Seismic Bond are the same abilities that triggers  Arcane Intention. See list below.
  • Channeled ability must be active for both the shockwave and Ability Efficiency bonus to trigger.
  • As channeled abilities snapshot their Ability Efficiency at the time of casting, the Efficiency bonus does not actually benefit the ability that activates it. This can be circumvented with a loadout that has two channeled abilities; one can be activated to receive the bonus, then the other to maintain the bonus while toggling the first ability off and back on to receive the Efficiency bonus on both.
• Shockwave does not deal damage to enemies protected with Overguard.
• Shockwave does not proc any status effects, unless paired with  Manifold Bond.
• Shockwave does not trigger  Vicious Bond.
• Ability Efficiency bonus is additive to similar bonuses such as  Streamline
  • Bonus triggers on all damage dealt by your companion.
  • Each stack has its own duration.
