NameShow Full Descriptions
Added Lightning Damage SupportIncreases the amount of flat lightning damage your Lightning Tendrils does.
Controlled Destruction SupportGrants more spell damage to Lightning Tendrils but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage, not contingent on critical strikes.
Elemental Focus SupportRemoves the ability for Lightning Tendrils to inflict elemental ailments, such as shock, on enemies. However, it significantly boosts Lightning Tendril's elemental damage.
Lightning Penetration SupportReduces enemy resistance to lightning damage, making them take more lightning damage from Lightning Tendrils.
Concentrated Effect SupportReduces the area of effect of Lightning Tendrils but significantly increases the area damage Lightning Tendrils does. This makes it an excellent choice for difficult individual monsters.
Increased Area of Effect SupportIncreases the area of effect of Lightning Tendrils allowing it to hit a greater number of targets at once.
