When to use Lightning Bolt
Lightning Bolt is a burst opener — 150 power on a 55-second cooldown means one big hit per fight, so commit it when the target is exposed and pair the user with a tankier teammate to ride out the recovery. It also applies electrical, so leading the rotation with it locks the target before your bigger hitters land.
