Vaal Lightning Strike

Vaal Lightning Strike (often referred to as VLS) is a vaal melee Attack with the secondary effect of launching projectiles periodically from the target struck or from the ground if no enemy is hit. These projectiles deal Lightning damage based on the player's weapon damage.

Skill functions and interactions

The pulse rate of the lightning beams produced by Vaal Lightning Strike's orbs can be modified by increases to attack speed such as Faster Attacks Support.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.20.0	Quality on Vaal Lightning Strike no longer provides 0-20% increased Damage. Labyrinth Helmet Enchantments that cause Lightning Strike to fire additional Projectiles now have values of 1 and 2 (previously 2 and 3).
3.15.0	Now deals 163% of Base Damage, and has 163% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 20 (previously 130%).
3.14.0	Now deals 105% of base Attack Damage at gem level 1 (previously 80%) and 130% of base Attack Damage at gem level 20 (previously 98%). Now has a base duration of 6 seconds (previously 8). Now stores 2 uses (previously 1). Now has a Soul Gain Prevention duration of 8 seconds (previously 10). Vaal Skill Gems can now only be obtained from a set of specific methods such as Corrupting Gems, Vaal Side Areas, Divination Cards (that specifically grant Vaal Skill Gems) and the Lapidary Lens in the Temple of Atzoatl.
3.7.0	Now adds 1 to 13 lightning damage to attacks at gem level 1, up to 9 to 179 at gem level 20. Now gains 1% increased projectile speed and 1% increased damage per 1% gem quality (previously gained 1% increased lightning damage per 1% gem quality).
2.1.0	It is now a Dexterity Gem
1.1.0d	Vaal Skill soul counts were initially balanced for Merciless difficulty, where there are more monsters. We want them to be easier to use in Normal and Cruel difficulty. We have halved the number of souls required for each skill. In Cruel difficulty, skills require 50% more souls to uses. In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
1.1.0	Introduced to the game.
