Fatal Current

"Activate the electric current hidden in Lei Luo's tattoos to enhance self. And during this period, each shot that hits an enemy will trigger Fatal Current, increasing the DMG and summoning a Thunderbolt on the enemy, then the skill ends."

Fatal Current is Lei Luo's Primary Skill. Using it brings Lei Luo into a state that increases his movement speed by +30% and skill damage by +50% for 5 seconds.

While the skill is active, shooting and hitting any enemy will end the state early, dealing 100% extra damage and summoning a thunderbolt that deals 800 Lightning^? damage on the enemy that was hit. Missing a shot does not end Fatal Current early.

The first shot that manages to hit an enemy while Fatal Current is active (even those fired before it was activated) will deal bonus damage, including all projectiles from that shot. However only the first hit will summon a thunderbolt regardless of projectile count, and firing multiple shots before or during Fatal Current will still only boost the first one.

While the thunderbolt is affected by increases to skill damage, shots fired during Fatal Current are not. Anything that increases skill damage without also increasing weapon damage, such as Skill Enhancement and Spirit Bible, will have no effect on the shot.
