Slam - Notes

Primes a target for Biotic Explosion if they are unprotected. However, this only happens during the lift portion of the ability.
You have a limited time window for detonating biotic explosions, which makes it a bit difficult to use if you rely on combos.
Slam can detonate any type of combo: Fire, Cryo, Biotic Explosion, and Tech Burst.
