Fatal Current

> "*Activate the electric current hidden under Lei Luo's tattoos, granting +30% Movement Speed and +50% skill DMG for 5s. During this period, the first shot that hits an enemy ends the bonus state, dealing 100% extra damage and summoning a 800 lightning DMG thunderbolt after the hit.*"

 **Fatal Current** is  Lei Luo's Primary Skill. Using it brings Lei Luo into a state that increases his movement speed and skill damage for a short duration.

While the skill is active, shooting and hitting any enemy will end the state early, dealing bonus damage and summoning a thunderbolt that deals  Lightning? damage to 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.
