Thunderstrike

In-game tooltip: hold to chant, then summon lightning at the target location, dealing Magic Damage. Released before the chant completes it instead recovers Energy and summons lightning at the target after a short delay, for reduced Magic Damage.

When to use it

Shares Fire Bolt’s early-release branch, so an interrupted cast still lands something and refunds Energy. The launch patch widened its hit detection; live damage is not published.

What the balance passes changed

  • 2026-09-03 · Buffed
    The damage falloff by distance from the centre is removed — edge hits now deal the same damage as centre hits. The largest single change to a damage profile in this pass.
  • 2026-08-12 · Buffed
    Lightning activation speed slightly increased, energy recovery on a non-full channel slightly increased, and the skill indicator now shows the exact strike location.

Direction is the patch note’s own word, not a verdict on whether the skill is now good. Patch notes and update history.
