Description

Use Lightning Bolt to defeat as many monsters as you can within the time limit. Dealing more damage will result in a higher score. As the test rank increases, stronger monsters will appear and you will need a higher score to pass the test.

Equipment

Points

  • 30 Points: Attack an enemy with Lightning Bolt
  • 200 Points: Defeat an enemy with Lightning Bolt
  • 100 Points: Attack the Crystal Golem with Lightning Bolt
  • 1% of the damage inflicted on the Crystal Golem is converted into points

Test Spawn Patterns

4 colored Crystals will appear when the test starts. Defeating a crystal will make the others invulnerable and summon a wave with the element corresponding to the color of the crystal.

General Tips

  • Snap Cast's cooldown is reset upon defeating a monster.
    • A strategy to amass points would be to make use of Snap Cast every time its cooldown is reset.
      • However, that may also draw extra monster aggro onto you.
  • If Snap Cast is unavailable, single casts of Lightning Bolt are a better use of time rather than charging it for the maximum charge extra damage.
  • Fully charge your bolt spell right after defeating the elemental crystal, as there will be a short delay before the monsters spawn in.
  • Your Magic and Close Combat ranks will carry over into the test, so having higher ranks would be useful.
    • Having Rank 1 Spellwalk active may help improve your score, as you can charge spells while running.
  • The crystals have 1 HP and will go down with any type of hit.
    • Magic cooldowns are reset upon defeating a crystal, including the crystal golems.
  • In order to maximize points gained, you may spawn lightning monsters on waves 1 and 2.
  • Wave 3 will always consist of either a Fire or Ice Crystal.
  • Players should prioritize destroying the Fire Crystal on Wave 3 because of the Giant Elemental Sprite. It is easier to dodge the fireballs than be permanently ice speared.
  • Icebolt will frequently activate the golem boss's Mana Deflector; it will be difficult to accumulate points during Wave 4+.
    • Have Counterattack ready to use for when it rushes towards you.
      • You may need to use Defense if Counterattack is still on cooldown.
