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 and seek out additional nearby targets.
Mechanics
Only one projectile behavior can be applied each time a projectile hits a target. Chain is fourth in priority for projectile behaviors, preceded by split, pierce, and fork, and followed by return. This means that if a skill is affected by pierce, chain, and fork, it would first pierce x number of times, then fork, then chain x number of times. If a projectile is unable to perform a behavior in its sequence, it will attempt the next behavior and retry prior behaviors. For example, a projectile that can both chain and return will now hit a target and, if there are no enemies for it to chain to, it will return. If it then hits another group of enemies, it will attempt to chain again (though it will not return again after chaining).
When a projectile chains, it bounces off the target it hits and continues in the direction of another nearby target. A non-projectile chaining skill like

functions similarly. A projectile cannot chain to a target it has already hit. If a skill produces multiple projectiles, none of those projectiles can chain to a target which any of them have already hit. If a projectile has no valid chain targets, it will target a nearby enemy but pass through without hitting them.[1]
