For the non-Vaal counterpart, see Lightning Strike.
Vaal Lightning Strike (often referred to as VLS) is a vaal melee attack with the secondary effect of launching projectiles periodically from the target struck or from the ground if no enemy is hit. These projectiles deal lightning damage based on the player's weapon damage.
Skill functions and interactions
- The pulse rate of the lightning beams produced by Vaal Lightning Strike's orbs can be modified by increases to attack speed such as Faster Attacks.
- Only the initial skill use is considered a strike; the beams are considered projectile damage. Having Strike Skills target additional enemies will increase the number of strikes, but will not create additional orbs. Only the original strike is used to determine if the orb is attached to a target or the ground.
