Chain Lightning

Chain / Pack Clear

A crackling arc that jumps through clustered enemies and punishes crowded lanes.

Chain Lightning is reliable early and explosive late. It thrives when enemies stack together, then scales into a screen-wide storm once extra bolts and overload effects come online.

Current build preview: This page shows how Chain Lightning plays in the current build. Balance, visuals, upgrade details, and presentation may still change over time.
