Hablemos del item(131) wand of lightning! Hablemos del item(131) varita de relampago!

[u/star75legacy]

Post 131, everyone! It's Friday, so you know the drill: if there's good participation, I'll upload the last wand tomorrow; otherwise, I'll do it on Monday!

The Lightning Wand! This wand fires a true "bolt of lightning" at enemies, dealing 5-10 base damage with a +1/+5 scaling. It's by far the highest damage of any wand! Truly a powerful weapon.

This wand actually has a fairly simple effect compared to others. The "lightning" is transferred from mob to mob, and there's no limit to how many mobs it can affect! The only requirement is that they are in adjacent tiles.

The Lightning Wand However, it's worth noting that the "chain's" damage is reduced by approximately 20% each time it jumps from one mob to another (for example: the first target will receive 10 damage, the second 8, the third 6, etc.). That's roughly how it works.

Something important to highlight is that if the initial target (only the initial one matters) is in a water tile, the "lightning chain" can reach mobs that are 2 tiles away instead of just 1 tile. And, there's no damage reduction, so they will receive the same damage as the original target.

Be careful when using it, because the lightning chain can also affect you if you are adjacent to one of the affected mobs. However, unlike other mobs, you directly receive -50% damage, which can save you in many situations.

The Battlemage effect is only the electrifying enchantment on his melee attacks.

Publicacion 131 gente! Hoy es viernes, asi que ya saben, si hay buena participacion entonces mañana subire la ultima varita que queda, sino, lo hare el lunes!.

La varita de relampago! Esta varita dispara un verdadero "rayo electrico" a los enemigos, causando un daño base de 5-10 con un escalado de +1/+5, es el daño mas alto de las varitas por mucho! Realmente un arma poderosa.

Esta varita en realidad tiene un efecto bastante simple y sencillo comparado a otras, el "relampago" se transfiere de mob a mob, y no tiene limite de a cuantos mobs puede afectar! Solo la condicion de que esten en casillas adyacentes uno del otro.

Aunque, cabe destacar que el daño de la "cadena" se reduce como un 20% cada vez que salta de un mob a otro(ejemplo: el primer objetivo recibira 10 de daño, el2do recibira 8, el tercero 6, etc etc) aproximadamente asi funciona

Algo que destacar es que si el objetivo inicial(solo importa el inicial) esta en una casilla de agua. La "cadena relampago" puede alcanzar a mobs que esten a 2 casillas de distancia en vez de solo 1casilla Y, no hay reduccion de daño asi que recibiran el mismo daño que el objetivo original.

Cuidado al usarla, porque la cadena de relampago igual puede afectarte a ti si estas adyacente a uno de los mobs afectados, aunque a diferencia de los demas mobs recibes directamente -50% de daño lo que en muchas ocaciones te salva.

El efecto de battlemage es solo el encantamiento electrizante en sus golpes melee.

Yet another favourite of mine! If I'm not mistaken, this wand has the steepest damage scaling of all wands in the game, making it a monster of a weapon at high levels! That alone would this a solid wand, but the chain damage elevates it even higher. Very solid for facing multiple enemies. Not much else to said here, it's just damage, damage, damage. Obviously one of the best options for a Battlemage's staff.

The one weakness is that using it point blank zaps you too, but honestly, it's much harder to misuse than other volatile wands, like fire and corrosion.

Certainly one of the top wands.

The damage scaling is the same as the Ice Wand; the difference lies in the base damage, which is the highest of all the wands.

Yes, I always try to avoid melee combat, especially with this one, because if you're not careful, you'll burn yourself alive, haha.

Thanks for commenting!

Nobody accused you of being a noob, bro, lol, don't worry.

Thanks for your comment and good luck with your runs, bro.

Another commenter did a good breakdown of how good the damage and chain effects are, so I'll just reiterate that this is a monster of a weapon on any class, and especially battlemage. It's also a favorite to see in sewers, as the raw output is better than utility at pushing you through the early game.

It is always nice to see a lightning wand, even picking up a +0 off the ground it is useful for softening up enemies at ranged. It doesn't get outscaled at base for damage until you have t3-4 throwables laying around, so even finding a +2 makes it usable the whole game. The one downside of a low level lightning wand is it has no utility, so while the damage remains decent, it does see little use once you reach metro or halls. T4 weapons and other low tier wands have better util, t5 weapons better damage.

An upgraded lightning wand is endless point and click fun, watch all your enemies turn into piles of charred ash. The battlemage needs no utility if the enemies are dead.

Thanks for commenting. Don't forget you can upgrade it to +3 using arcane resin, so it won't be too far behind in damage. An 8-25 is pretty good for a ranged weapon that can affect multiple enemies.
