Summons a ball of electric energy that hits your target for wind elemental damage. Excellent against fire and water element monsters.
| Required Class | Mage |
|---|---|
| Damage Type | Wind |
| Available at | Level 2 |
| Range | 4 meters |
| Cooldown | 1 second |
Skill Usage
Thunderbolt is generally the mage spell of choice against water element monsters. It is less effective against wind and earth element monsters.
Thunderbolt benefits from the effects of the following skills:
Flash Freeze and Frost Nova: Frozen targets are Water 3, so Thunderbolt will receive a 75% damage bonus.
Overcharge: If skill points are allocated into Overcharge, then each Thunderbolt attack will inflict one "Lightning Change" debuff onto the target. The "Lightning Charge" debuffs can then be removed by Lightning Rod to regenerate a % of mana per "Lightning Charge" absorbed. Alternatively, if the "Lightning Charge" debuffs are not removed, every fifth Thunderbolt will deal 25% additional damage.
Notes
Thunderbolt can be used in a variety of ways.
- The first (and most obvious) is to directly attack your opponent. Thunderbolt is not known for overpowering damage, although it still does a considerable amount! In PvP it is unlikely that you will succeed in killing your opponent with just thunderbolt.
- Thunderbolt is one of the few spells that has a knock-back. Knock-back is when your opponent is knocked backward from you, (up to 4 meters). This is more useful than it appears, warriors need to be up close to do damage, which means knocking them back distances them from you. The knock-back effect can be had to obtain for lower level people (1-20). Items that give the knock-back effect are; Lucy's Tiara, Coronet of the tempest, Charm of Thunder, and the Thorny bramble hat.
- Another way to use thunderbolt is by using Flash Freeze which freezes your opponent for a limited amount of time. Because wind element damage is super effective against water, your damage from thunderbolt is increased if you hit your opponent while frozen. This can be very useful in combat. The combo of Flash Freeze and thunderbolt if common just as much as embers and ignite are.
- Thunderbolt can be upgraded 8 times and has moderate damage, a 1.5 second cast time, and a 1 second cool down. As good as its damage is, it only really becomes noticeable around the 6th and 7th upgrade for thunderbolt.
