Kit Overview

• Skill: Deals Lightning DMG and applies Shock, then immediately detonates existing DoTs on the target.
• Ultimate: AoE Lightning DMG that applies Shock to all enemies hit.
• Talent/Role: Nihility DoT carry whose attacks trigger ally follow-ups and instantly tick damage-over-time effects.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Powerful DoT detonation, enables a whole DoT archetype, low CRIT dependence. Cons: Damage is ramp-based so weaker in fast clears, needs DoT partners like Black Swan to shine.
