Note[]
- Slam damage is multiplicative to base damage (e.g.,
![Mod TT 20px](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="12" height="20"><rect fill-opacity="0"/></svg>)
Pressure Point, 
Arcane Fury). - This mod increases the ground slam damage by +200%, allowing ground slams to deal threefold their usual damage.
- Seismic Wave also increases the damage dealt by slam attacks performed via Stance Combos.
- Works with
Wukong's 
Primal Fury. - It is currently the only mod capable of increasing the explosion effect damage of the Jat Kusar's heavy attack.
Trivia[]
- On the initial release that showcased this mod, the mod card along with the update notes had noted that Seismic Wave increased the slam radius of the equipped weapon, misleading players to believe that its purpose was to expand the already impressive slam radius of a weapon (such as the
Jat Kittag). The mod card text was eventually fixed to reflect its actual function. - Between Update 18.10 (2016-04-29) and Hotfix 22.6.1 (2017-12-08), there were no enemies that dropped Seismic Wave.

Does this work with obex heavy attacks
This is going to get REAL good soon. Dante Unbound will make slam attack shockwaves scale with all mods, so slam attack builds may become the meta. Eagerly awaiting Sampotes becoming the most powerful weapon in the game.
Does this mod also increase DoT damage from physical/element status like Slash and toxin proc?
Because the initial hit hits harder, yes.
The "initial hit" of a slam attack does not increase. In your case, you will only see a damage increase if the shockwave of your heavy attack applies a certain proc.
So does this apply to the Korumm's special slam combo or is it bad on it, like every other melee besides the Arca Titron.
Does this increase the damage of the first heavy attack of Sparring weapons? Iirc it's a slam attack.
Seismic Wave also increases the damage dealt by slam attacks performed via Stance Combos.
So yes.
if it does, then it only increases the weak shockwave part, not the actual hit.
Only the radial damage from what i see in the mod menue not the actual impact
Is this a separate multiplier, or does it just stack with base melee damage?
With the new heavy slam attack radial damage in 10m update, I used arca titron with a stealth buff to get 54million damage, and only 110k on the direct hit.
Can anyone confirm that the mod still works? Wanted to use it with Tempo Royale, but didn't get a damage increase, so I checked the areal slam and direct slam damage, and the mod didn't make any difference.
Just transmuted this despite the dscription saying it is untransmutable
Same here
Me too
Updated, thanks.
Just tested again today with Arca Titron, a fully maxed out mod adds a flat +100 damage to jump slams. This 100 damage does not seem to be affected by anything or modified by anything. This mod is completely worthless.
Did some testing myself to find out how it exactly works. Slam attacks deal to instances of damage, the first being everything you hit directly and the radial damage that knocks enemies down. While the direct hit does a pretty large amount of damage the radial hit does almost no damage regardless of modding. Seismic wave does not effect the direct hit, only the weak AoE, tripling it's damage. Your math is bad but your conclusion is correct, it's worthless.
Tell it to my 250k slams with a non-riven zaw.
They would if this wasn't a two-year old post, but okay. This mod has nothing to do with how much damage your slams do on your Zaw.
good to know that this mod works with Exoida Epidemic
Good to know, but utterly useless..simply because Exodia Epidemic does terrible damage, even maxed out. It wouldn't matter if this mod was a 1,000x slam multiplier.. it still wouldn't be worth it to slot it just for Epidemic..
Exodia Hunt is an all around better arcane. Huge curcular radius.. pulls emenies into slam range, thus being more fitting for slam spamming.
Does it affect heat swords? Thats what I want to know.
Despite Iron Vault + Glaive explosion working (that saying it affects slam attack), this does not increase glaive explosion damage.
does this affect arcane enhancement?
just got this. didnt even know if this existed. This with Arca titron would be kickass!
Can confirm: 100% murder.
In "dropped by" in right column description the "tusk reaver" link brings to the "Bailiff" page. just thought i would get this ou there...
scrap that the actual tusk reaver page ridirects to bailiff my bad
How does it work with Arca Titron, I wonder?
Very well
Beautifully. For extra results, use it with Desecrate Inaros, Spider Equinox, Excalibur, Silence Banshee. Stealth damage for days.
Use reach or primed reach for better results. Murder.
Not sure if/where this is supposed to drop, but a couple days ago I was in a pug lobby and one of the other players got it right then through transmutation.
Question, does this work with the pause combo in shattering storm? I need more cheese for arca titron if possible
the one stance where you spin the hammer and then dash forawrd while firing off all the stacks with its passive? it does as expected, increases the electric blast radius
