    Lightning Arrow


    Lightning Arrow is a bow attack skill that fires an arrow which causes enemies to be struck with a bolt of lightning. The lightning bolt can hit nearby enemies.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Hits Additional Targets: When an arrow strikes a target, up to 3 randomly chosen enemies (up to 5 with the Labyrinth enchantment) within an area around that target will also be struck for the same amount of damage. The area within which Lightning Arrow can hit additional targets has a base radius of 18 and is affected by area of effect modifiers. However, this damage is not affected by modifiers to area damage.
    • Damage conversion: Like all converted damage, the lightning portion of Lightning Arrow's damage will be modified by both lightning damage and physical damage increases.
