Chain Lightning

Chain / Pack Clear

Forward-fired lightning forks through packs before Heaven's Verdict adds wings and electrical overdrive.

A living conduit. Discharges bolts in rapid succession, each one striking an enemy and forking into two chains that tear violent lightning through the pack around it.

Development snapshot: This page shows how Chain Lightning plays in the v0.70 development snapshot. Balance, visuals, upgrade details, and presentation may still change over time.
