Vaal Lightning Trap

Vaal Lightning Trap is a Vaal skill. It creates a trap that launches a ring of projectiles when triggered. The projectiles pierce through all targets, dealing lightning damage and leaving behind a narrow trail of shocking ground for a duration.

Skill Functions and Interactions

  • Chaining: Since Vaal Lightning Trap's projectiles always pierce, then they cannot chain, so supporting it with Chain Support will have no effect.

  • Multiple Traps: When Vaal Lightning Trap is linked with Multiple Traps Support or Cluster Traps Support, additional traps are only placed if Vaal Lightning Trap has sufficient souls to do so.

  • Duration: Increased Duration increases both the trap duration and the duration of the shocking ground effect.
