Lure an enemy into striking a Lightning Rod 3 times before it dissipates (excluding battles in Hall of Virtue). |
Having enemies attack the lightning orb created by Lightning Rod will also create a discharge. Standing near the orb increases the chance of enemies triggering the discharge themselves.
Successfully drawing attacks into the Lightning Rod three times before it disappears will unlock the Road to Redemption trophy achievement. It is recommended to keep using Taunt while the Lightning Rod is active to get this achievement easily.
