Upgrade
 Exploding Bolt |
Upgrade | Lightning Bolt does more damage if there are other enemies nearby, and if there are enough close to the striking point, a wave of force will knock back all enemies except for the paralyzed primary target. Damage Bonus: 200% for every creature within 4 meters |
| Lightning Cascade |
Upgrade Requires: Trespasser |
Lightning Bolt now paralyzes other enemies near your main target. The more enemies it affects, the shorter the duration. |
Notes
- Initiates a Paralyze effect, which can be quickly detonated either into a Discharge, which inflicts AoE, friendly fire-proof electricity damage that leaves affected enemies Shocked, or into a Basic Combo, which provides a large damage bonus.
- The Lightning Cascade upgrade is very useful for priming groups of enemies for Combo Denotations; however, the detonator must be applied very quickly (preferably by a different character) while the enemy is still primed.
Bugs
- The paralyze duration is not increased if there are more enemies around. An unofficial fix for
is available here.
