Wild Strike is a melee attack skill that converts all of the damage to a random element when an enemy is struck. Then, depending on the element chosen, it releases an explosion, an arcing bolt of lightning, or an icy wave.

Skill functions and interactions

An attack with Wild Strike consists of two parts: an initial melee hit that functions similarly to a default melee attack and one of the following effects being chosen at random with equal chance: If an enemy is hit with the melee part, they cannot be hit by the secondary effect.

• A fiery explosion with the keywords Fire, AoE, Attack
• An icy wave with the keywords Cold, Projectile, Attack
• An arcing bolt of lightning with the keywords Lightning, Chaining, Attack

Modifiers that require a specific keyword only apply to the appropriate portions of the attack. For example, supporting Wild Strike with Melee Physical Damage SupportMelee Physical Damage SupportMelee, Physical, Support, Attack
