Ground Slam is a melee attack creating a wave that travels forwards and damages enemies with an increased chance to stun.

Skill functions and interactions

• Accuracy: Accuracy is a factor despite the nature of the skill. Ground Slam can miss.

• Dual Wielding: Ground slam will use both weapons when dual wielding.

• Reduced Enemy Stun Threshold: This essentially means that enemies struck by Ground Slam have a greater chance to be stunned than with other attacks.
