When to use Lightning Strike
Lightning Strike is a balanced mid-range hit — 300 power on a 16-second window leaves room in the rotation for one filler skill between casts, a flexible slot for most teams. It also applies electrical, so leading the rotation with it locks the target before your bigger hitters land.
