Lightning Arrow
In-game tooltip: arrows wrapped in lightning deal Physical Damage on hit and create a chain that jumps between enemies. Each enemy can be hit by the chain only once, and each successive hit deals less Physical Damage. Striking the environment near enemies still creates a chain, at a lower damage multiplier.

When to use it
The default area pick. Not the highest single-target output, but the most forgiving arrow to fire into a group — and the environment fallback means a miss is not a wasted shot.
