Flashstorm is a level 5 psycast that ??????????????

Acquisition

There are two ways to acquire the psycast Flashstorm:

  1. Upon reaching psylink level 5, a random psycast of level 5 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 5 psycast.
  2. Flashstorm can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Summary

Analysis

  • Flashstorm lightning strikes can be targeted down to a specific tile by roofing the entire area of effect except for the single tile that is targeted. Lightning will still strike at the same rate, but will only strike that unroofed tile. Multiple flash storms can be stacked on top of each other with the number and frequency of strikes stacking directly
    • Without roofs, these are wildly inaccurate and only should be used: A) In a killbox with a single unroofed tile, or B) against massive stacks of tribals.
    • Note that there is a substantial delay (60-180 seconds, at random on each cast) before the first strike, after which the ability lasts a fixed duration (164s).
