What Is It? ​

A totem-slot charge-up item: the more hits you take, the harder your next strike. Every hit you take builds a lightning charge. At 5 charges, your next hit on an enemy releases a lightning burst: 40 flat damage plus 60% of that hit's actual damage. High-risk, high-reward.

  • Type: Totem / Quality: 5
  • Drop: 20% from Triple-Shot Man (works on vanilla maps too) / Dingdang's Shop (Affinity 5, stock 1)
  • Protected from death drops while equipped in its slot; not protected merely by being in the backpack

Thunder Charge (Passive) ​

Charging:

  • Each hit taken adds 1 charge (max 5)
  • Damage over time does not charge it, so standing in fire won't fill it
  • 0.3s cooldown between charge gains (rapid-fire hits won't instant-fill it)
  • If you take no hits for 8 seconds, all charges are lost

Releasing:

  • At 5 charges, your next hit deals +40 flat lightning damage plus 60% of that hit's actual damage, and clears all charges
  • Any weapon works: gunfire consumes the full charge and triggers the release just like melee does
  • Only a real hit on an enemy counts: your own summons, and your own damage-over-time or reflect damage, never consume the charges
  • Charging immediately restarts after release

What It Looks Like ​

Reaching 5 charges prints a "Fully charged" bubble over your head. That's your cue to swap to something heavy before you swing. The release then arcs lightning from your chest to the target, while a bolt strikes down over the enemy and a golden ring expands around their body with a short, heavy discharge; the release itself no longer prints a second bubble. No arc means the stacks were not full, or the 8-second timeout already cleared them.

Tips ​

  • You trade getting hit for damage, so it rewards aggressive, face-to-face fighting
  • Against slow stationary bosses you reliably build to 5 and repeatedly release
  • Useless in low-density phases where enemies aren't hitting you
  • Totem slot: it doesn't replace your melee weapon, it stacks on top of it
  • Best combined with high-burst weapons (e.g. Inferno Emperor's Realm-Breaking Halberd) so the release fires on a strong combo hit
  • Which hit you spend it on matters: the percentage part scales off that single hit, so save it for heavy single-shot weapons
  • Shotguns get less out of it: only the first pellet of a blast consumes the charges

Once charged, don't dump it into a weak poke. The flat 40 is the same for everyone, but the 60% part only knows how heavy the swing you just landed was.
