Summon Lightning Golem skill screenshot


Summon Lightning Golem is a minion spell, summoning a Golem that grants the player increased attack and cast speed while active. It can use a long range lightning spell projectile, place orbs of lightning that strikes nearby enemies rapidly, and a temporary aura that adds a small amount of lightning damage to attacks and spells.

Abilities[ | ]

  • Galvanic Bolt: Projectile spell, 100% lightning, supported with spell/projectile supports.
  • Orb of Sparks: Stationary spell similar to Orb of Storms, 100% lightning, hits only one enemy per zap and is unable to chain, supported by spell/AoE supports but unaffected by AoE damage.
  • Storm Nimbus: Temporary aura that adds lightning damage to attacks and spells, lasts 4 seconds, uses default aura radius.
