This Lightning Spear Amazon build is designed to clear maps with great speed from generating Charges and blasting foes with massive Lightning damage.
Utilize Lightning Spear as your main tool for damage while being infused and supported by active buffs such as Combat Frenzy and Herald of Thunder. The Rhoa Mount makes map movement smoother as you setup even more damage with Storm Lance and Sniper's Mark.

| Build Notes |
|---|
Infuse Weapon allows you to consume Power Charges to infuse your Lightning Spear with Cold Damage and allows the Potential support gem to shine. Furthermore, it is convenient to maintain with the equipment setup and is just an easy way for you to increase your damage overall.
The build, which is heavily geared around Frenzy Charges, generates Frenzy Charges out of three ways:
While Herald of Thunder is already a consistent means of electrocuting enemies, the main reason is that the build wants to run Potential on Lightning Spear for additional 40%Critical Hit Rate.
Furthermore, base Gloves are able to give flat out damage boosts. However, if you already have the means of reaching 100% Critical Hit Rate on Lightning Spear without potential, you can slot Kitoko's Current!

It is recommended to equip a Spear that provides additional physical damage and accuracy rating. Combining this with increased attack speed and gaining mana per kill gives a higher output of Lightning Spears and crits, dealing a barrage of Lightning Spears at a more consistent pace.
Accuracy Rating is highly important in weapons as well since the Penetrate Ascendancy passive node greatly increases the equipped weapon's physical damage depending on its accuracy rating.
For the off-hand, the Lycosidae Rampart Tower Shield is recommended to empower this build as it doubles accuracy rating, making sure crits are almost always hit.
The Sunsplinter Array Buckler is an alternative off-hand choice for a shield as it highly increases Infused Weapons damage since it gives level to all elemental skills.
Keep in mind that you have to unequip the Dance with Death keystone passive node and reallocate it as it will be ineffective once you equip any shield.
Redflare Conduit is recommended as it is the build's main source of getting Power Charge per hit, making attacks deal more DPS at the cost of being shocked once you reach maximum Power Charges.
For an alternative and other armor parts, focus on equipment that innately gives evasion and gives an increase in accuracy rating for the modifiers. Accuracy Rating is highly important in increasing the chances of landing Critical Hits - the core of this build's damage.
Emerald Rings are recommended since it increases accuracy rating, making crits hit more reliably.
The Beacon of Azis Solar Amulet ensures that critical hits will always deal even more damage because it will allow this build to ignore enemies' elemental resistances. It also gives Spirit, which allows activation of buff skills.
A good alternative will be a Gold Amulet since it is good to increase the chances to acquire rarer items to maximize this build's potential.
Equipping Brynabas nullifies shock from enemies as well as the shock from Redflare Conduit. A good alternative would be a Linen Belt since it automatically gives charges per second.
| Equipment | Sockets |
|---|---|

It is recommended to equip the Soul Core of Quipolatl for the Spear rune slots to increase the DPS of Lightning Spear by being able to throw out more of them at a faster rate.
Iron Runes are used on armor to increase overall defenses, especially armor and evasion. Increased evasion will mean that there's a lesser chance of getting hit while mounting the Rhoa, therefore avoiding the risk of heavy stun.

For your jewels, focus on getting Emeralds to gain more damage modifiers and consistency for the build. The best modifier you can get here would be the increased Critical Hit Damage since most of your damage scaling is affected by them.

Equip a Thawing Charm and Sapphire Charm when facing Count Geonor since it negates Freezing and offers Cold Resistance from his Chill attacks.
Replace Thawing Charm with a Grounding Charm as it helps negate both Jamanra, the Abomination and Doryani's Shock from their attacks. Grounding Charm is also a good alternative to avoid being shocked from Redflare Conduit if Byrnabas has not been acquired yet.

The Lightning Spear Amazon build's foundation skill, as its namesake suggest is the Lightning Spear. It is then paired with Infuse Weapon ascendancy skill to massively increase its damage by adding supplementary Lightning and Cold damage.

Once Ascendancy has been achieved, focus on unlocking the Elemental Infusion to also deal Cold Damage when using Power Charges. Critical Strike and Predatory Instinct are significant damage boosts to this build as it unlocks a higher potential for crits and gives an advantage over stronger enemies. Lastly, Penetrate's damage given scales from accuracy rating, something that we aim to increase throughout this build.
Passive nodes that enhance elemental damage such as Honed Instincts and Harness the Elements are good nodes to go for in the beginning. Eventually, you will want to also increase critical hit chance and critical damage by taking passive nodes such as Cooked and Struck Through.
Prioritize Dexterity as the attribute to go for since it increases accuracy rating which is highly important to reliably hit crits and for Falcon Dive to scale well especially in the later stages of the game.
Remember to also take Dance with Death if you have no off-hand equipped yet as it gives a significant boost in Skill Speed. Once you acquire the recommended off-hand items, remember to re-allocate the point from this node.
To equip Rhoa Mount, it is recommended to take the Easy Going passive node as it decreases the Reservation of companions.

For general mobbing, you will adopt a one-button playstyle revolving around Lightning Spear as you move around while throwing Spears to clear mobs:
However, during Cruel Mode, your rotation will rely on setting up Storm Lances and Thunder Leap before firing a Lightning Spear:
For bossing, you will rely on debuffing the boss and buffing yourself with the following skills to enhance your Lightning Spear:
