How to Use Thunder Bullet

When you lock on to a flying enemy, Thunder Bullet's Art icon will have a blue exclamation mark next to it.

This means that this Art will inflict critical hit the enemy when used. Activating it will be a sure critical hit against the target.

Art Ranking B Rank Icon

Level up Thunder Bullet if you have extra AP

We recommend setting and investing into this Art if it works with the build you are running. Although this Art will not be quite as useful overall as some of Sharla's other ones, it certainly has its uses, and it won't hurt to have. Invest into this Art if you are running it, or if have already leveled your more important Arts, and have extra AP to spend.
