Flashstorm
Flashstorm is a level 5 psycast that drives pawns insane in its area of effect.
Acquisition
There are two ways to acquire Flashstorm:
- A randomly selected level 5 psycast is granted to the psycaster when they gain psylink level 5. Flashstorm is one of the options that may be selected. Note that this occurs regardless of how the psylink level is gained.
- Flashstorm can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.
Summary
Analysis
 | This section is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on Psycasts - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
- 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).
