Storm Lance

Throw an electrified Spear that lodges in the ground and periodically zaps nearby enemies with Lightning bolts. If the Spear is Detonated by another Skill, it immediately unleashes a volley of bolts and expires. Consumes a Frenzy Charge if possible to fire bolts more frequently for a shorter duration, automatically Detonate at the end of its duration, and create Shocked Ground on Detonation.

How to Use Storm Lance Effectively

Practical tips you won't find on the tooltip

🌊

AoE Clearing

Invest in Area of Effect to cover more ground. Excellent for map clearing and handling packs efficiently.

🏹

Projectile Scaling

Extra projectiles (GMP) and Pierce/Chain/Fork dramatically multiply your clear. Choose based on mob density.

Shock Amplification

Lightning Shock increases damage taken by enemies. High hit damage = stronger Shock effect. Synergizes with crit builds.

Duration Matters

Duration scaling extends effect uptime. Less recasting = more time dealing damage. Invest in skill duration passives.
