Description

Using electricity as the medium, this magic creates a small lightning bolt that penetrates the target. While the lightning hits the target in the blink of an eye, the pain inflicted on the target is prolonged. Lightning bolt can be even more powerful when combined with the spells by other casters around you. It can also spread from the main target to other nearby enemies. Repeatedly preparing Lightning Bolt can reinforce such a chain reaction. Enhancement effects will be added to the maximum charge.

Details

A player casting Lightning Bolt.

Lightning Bolt being fired.

• Lightning Bolt is an offensive Magic spell that uses Lightning as a medium to attack multiple enemies.
• Up to 5 charges can be stacked at a time.
• All charges are used when attacking.
• The maximum number of possible targets hit is equal to the number of charges stacked upon attacking.
  • If other players in the same party have lightning bolt loaded, then the cumulative charges of up to two other nearby party members will be added on top of the attacker's pre-existing charges, allowing for up to 15 targets to be hit.
  • The damage each subsequent enemy takes is reduced by 10%
  • If the number of charges used is greater than the number of targets hit, up to (number of charges used - the number of targets hit) enemies will be knocked back.
  • When multiple monsters are hit, only the monster targeted will immediately aggro. The rest monsters will only notice the player, unless their AI allows them to multi-aggro.
• Of the three bolt spells, Lightning Bolt has both the highest max damage and the lowest minimum damage with 1 charge.
• No charges will be lost when knocked back or down.
• Lightning Bolt stuns for 1.73 seconds, 0.08 seconds longer than Icebolt.
  • When using a Crystal Lightning Wand upgraded for casting speed, Lightning Bolt becomes the fastest charging spell at Rank 5 (0.88 seconds).
• This skill can be Auto Charged, Snap Casted, and can be used with Spellwalk.
• Evasion can be used to dodge Lightning Bolt.
• Prerequisite for learning Fireball, Thunder, and Meditation (at rank F).

Skill Issues

• Lightning Bolt will cancel if the player equips a different weapon other than Bare Hands while the skill is loaded.
