Build FAQs

Why Remove Trinity?
Trinity amplifies our elemental damage and with the Painter's Servant, we'll always be able to cap our elemental damage. However, Lazy Exile's setup for the endgame changes which includes the glove, and is then swapped into Maligaro's Virtuosity.
This new glove is then partnered with Tangletongue to solve all of our damage requirements which opens up the tree for more survivability options and allows us to remove our elemental damage nodes that originally supported the Trinity skill.
Why Should I Stack Power Charges?
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.
How Does the Build Generate Frenzy Charges?
The build, which is heavily geared around Frenzy Charges, generates Frenzy Charges in three ways:
- Upon equipping Embitter on Infuse Weapon, the Cold Infusion will give the Lightning Spear's cold damage the ability to Freeze enemies. This allows Combat Frenzy to give you a Frenzy Charge upon Freeze.
- Due to this build's ability to dole out critical hits, the Sniper's Mark skill can easily consume the mark to receive a Frenzy Charge.
- Herald of Thunder can easily electrocute due to Neural Overload, which is another means of activating Combat Frenzy.
Why is the Build Not Using Kitoko's Current?
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!

Weapons
Spear
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.
Upon gearing further, you'll want to get the synergy of Maligaro and Tangletongue so we'll want to swap to it once we get Maligaro for our gloves.
Offhand
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. You'll also want to consider the Sunsplinter Array Buckler as an alternative to increase your infused weapon damage
Once done, we'll want to invest in an offensive Sceptre to gain a huge amount of Spirit and Critical Hit Chance to synergize with our tanky endgame setup. The big spirit requirement is for our defensive persistent skills, mainly Ghost Dance and its support gems.
Armor
For our Armor pieces, we'll want to use Redflare Conduit 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.
Going into the endgame tank version, we'll then rely and go back to rare gear pieces with an emphasis on resistances and energy shield to make it easier to progress with Mapping and avoid dying to random stray attacks.
Accessories
Rings
Emerald Rings are recommended since it increase the accuracy rating at the start of mapping to get accuracy rating to pump our damage.
Later on, we'll make a swap to Amethyst Rings to cover our Chaos resistances instead as we'll want to transition from glass cannon to a balanced dps/durability build.
Beacon of Azis Solar Amulet
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 the activation of buff skills.
A good alternative will be a Gold Amulet since it is good to increase the chances of acquiring rarer items to maximize this build's potential.
Runes and Soul Cores
| Equipment | Sockets |
|---|---|
| Weapon | |
| Armor |
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. The reasons for including the support gems here are indicated below:
- Lightning Spear - Increases the potency of Lightning Damage and boosts its ability to dole out crits with Potential by consuming more Power Charges. Perpetual Charge is also added as Infuse Weapon and Embitter allows consistent Frenzy Charge economy.
- Infuse Weapon - Increases the Critical Hit Rate by further honing in on the Accuracy, and Distance of your attacks. Concentrated Effect simply increases damage and Embitter helps with Cold damage.
- Thunderous Leap - As this is mainly used as a way to traverse maps, the supports allow it to be performed quicker and safer. This will be removed later after getting decent boots with high movement speed stat equipped.
- Cast on Critical (Sniper's Mark) - Reduces our casting combo and allows us to get free Frenzy Charges from Sniper's Mark passively.
- Barrage - Boosts your damage capabilities by adding more projectiles to your Lightning Spear, especially with Premeditation.
- Storm Lance - Is a setup skill that provides additional damage for boss fights. The support gems included grants more Lightning Damage.
- Combat Frenzy - Provides you with Frenzy Charge economy due to this build's easy access to Electrocute. The support gems increase Frenzy Charges gained and Accuracy for more Critical Hit chance.
- Herald of Thunder - Provides the build with more AoE clear with Lightning damage.
- Rhoa Mount - Mounting Rhoa nullifies any slow movement when throwing the Spear. This also charges Volt faster as mounting Rhoa makes you very mobile since it scales 1 to 1 with your Movement Speed. Note that getting hit while mounting the Rhoa will cause a heavy stun to you, so it is recommended to stack on evasion.
- Wind Dancer - Provides the build additional survivability by increasing your Evasion. The support gems included allow peeling enemy aggro from you.
- Ghost Dance - Additional survivability which is perfect for an evasion + energy shield heavy build.

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 they unlock a higher potential for crits and give an advantage over stronger enemies. Lastly, Penetrate's damage given scales from accuracy rating, something that we aim to increase throughout this build.
Our focus on our passive tree has changed from just going full damage to getting high value damage + survivability nodes. We are also not opting into penetration nodes thanks to Beacon of Azie which gives us free zero-elemental resistance damage against enemies on critical strikes.

Mobbing
For general mobbing, you will adopt a one-button playstyle revolving around Lightning Spear as you move around while throwing Spears to clear mobs:
- Spam Lightning Spear to build up both Frenzy and Power Charges.
- Infuse Weapon will consume both Frenzy and Power Charges to gain Lightning and Cold Damage on your Lightning Spears.
This changes during the final version of the build where we will only start gaining Frenzy Charges as we forego Redflare Conduit.
Bossing
For bossing, we'll mainly rely on Storm Lance and its ground DPS to ramp up our single target damage.:
- Buff yourself with Barrage to gain more projectiles.
- Use Storm Lance to continue whittling down the boss.
