This is the most build influencing perk you can pick. “Chain Lightning elemental effect chance is raised to 50%” Luo Lei gets to select an additional starting talent when starting a run. There will be a separate tier list for Chain Lightning builds as they are extremely different in ascension choices and playstyle They are typically mid range as opposed to other long-range Luo builds. It is also HIGHLY recommended that one of your weapon slots is reserved for a Corrosive weapon. This will let you rely on elemental fusions for your lategame damage so you are not extremely reliant on getting specific ascensions. If you want to make a Chain Lightning build anyways, you must pick the “Chain Lightning elemental effect chance is boosted to 50%” starting talent. That’s not to say Chain Lightning can’t be viable, it’s just inferior to the other build paths Luo has. The damage does not reliably keep up with the enemy health unless you get quite lucky with your ascension and occult scroll selections. Unfortunately even with all the support it has, Chain Lightning has problems scaling into the lategame.

Most of his damage ascensions also improve skill damage as well, so it seems natural to try to make a build focused on zapping as many foes as possible right? Luo Lei has a lot of ascensions that are focused on his secondary, Chain Lightning.
