This page is about the projectile behavior. For the support gem, see Chain Support.
Chain is a behavior of projectiles and chaining skills that causes them to bounce off targets they hit seeking out other nearby targets.
Mechanics
Only one projectile behavior can be applied each time a projectile hits a target. Chain has third priority for projectile behaviors, preceded by pierce and fork, and followed by return. This means that if you had pierce, chain, and fork supporting the same skill, it would first pierce to it's maximum number of pierces, then chain to its maximum number of chains, and only then would it be able to fork.
When a projectile chains, it bounces off the target it hits and continues in the direction of another nearby target. A chaining skill like 
ArcArcSpell, Chaining, Lightning
Level: (1-20)
Cost: (8-23) Mana
Cast Time: 0.70 sec
Critical Strike Chance: 6.00%
Effectiveness of Added Damage: 120%Requires Level 12An arc of lightning reaches from the caster to a targeted enemy and chains to other enemies, but not immediately back. Each time the arc chains, it will also chain a secondary arc to another enemy that the main arc has not already hit, which cannot chain further.Deals (6-198) to (32-1122) Lightning Damage
Chains +(4-7) Times
15% more Damage with Hits and Ailments for each remaining Chain

functions similarly, except it cannot miss like a projectile; it simply hits the new target it chains to. A projectile or chaining skill can chain between multiple targets repeatedly, but it can never hit the same target twice in a row. A projectile or chaining skill will not chain if there is no other target close enough to the one hit.
Each projectile or chaining skill can chain a certain number of times. The number of times a projectile or chaining skill can chain is equal to the sum of all Skills Chain +x times modifiers and other similarly-worded modifiers.
Projectiles apply their on-hit effects to each target they chain on or otherwise hit. For example,
