Chain Lightning Description: Shoots a magical lightning bolt that jumps between enemies.
Thunderbolt Description: Discharges at enemies hit, creating a damaging area. Unwritten: applies a short stun on impact.
Chain Lightning are core to the Standard Max DPS build in Heroes Vs Hordes They are S in early, mid, and late game normal and hard mode. You will take them in Faction Wars, Dungeon, and Adventure, but some other weapons have higher priority, namely Bomb and Fire Orbs.
It is B+ in Hero Clash and comes in priority afer several weapons.
I personally have not invested any super tokens into Chain Lightning. I am just waiting for it to to continue to come up in the Arena.
The 3* forge "Lightspeed" is not a strong global buff. It only adds 2.5% Effect Duration, so no rush to upgrade there.
Chain Lightning falsl to D tier for Nightmare Mode because other weapons have more reliably disruption. You can take it in Boss Brawlm but other weapons have higher priority.
Increasing the number of projectiles dramatically improves the Damage Per Second (DPS) of Chain Lightning.
It evolves from Duplicator Tome, which synergizes well across all game types, making it easy to evolve.
