Description: Launch a line of lightning strikes that zap everything in their path
School: Elec
Element: Elec
Level: 1
Cooldown: 20
Cast Delay: 0
XP Multiplier: 1.5
Overview: A line of lightning that zaps every target in its path. Strikes is the Electric school's damage anchor and the key ingredient in the Cactus combo - cast it on any Cactus summon to release eight omnidirectional lightning bolts from that position. On its own it's solid; as a combo trigger it's essential.
Strategy: Aim through grouped enemies to maximize the chain hits. Against a Cactus turret or Mino, cast Strikes on the summon's position to detonate the combo burst. The DoT component keeps ticking after the initial zap, which adds up on higher-HP targets.
Pros: Hits multiple targets in a line per cast Core ingredient in the Cactus school combo DoT extends damage beyond the initial zap
Cons: Requires enemies to be roughly lined up for full value No crowd control component - pure damage
