Overview
Overview
The Bard with lightning on every strike: each lightning hit jumps to nearby enemies, and every 8 hits an extra bolt runs across the room.
Good for: Late campaign, Reverberated and Echoes T1–T9: lightning chaining between packs (bossing and clear below the stage average).
Strengths
- The jumps reach whoever is far away
- Clear without having to aim
- Still the combo Bard
Weaknesses
- Needs the keystone (and Lightning lit at the brazier)
- A lone boss gets nothing out of the jumps
- Many niche relics
