⚡️ Lightning Spear Amazon Huntress Build Guide

⚡️ Lightning Spear Amazon Huntress Build Guide

The Lightning Spear Huntress is an endgame-capable build centered around massive screen-clearing potential and smooth, fast-paced gameplay. It’s especially great if you like flashy effects, high crits, and not spamming multiple buttons to win.

💬 “If you liked Twister, this is a natural next step—plus, it can handle T15s with barely any gear.”


🎮 Playstyle

Map Clearing – Easy & Flashy

  • Main Skill: Lightning Spear
  • Mechanic: Move around to build Vault charges (up to 30), then cast Lightning Spear to unleash destruction.
  • Important Tip: Don’t spam the skill—move between casts to get the full 30-stack effect for maximum damage.

Bossing – Focused & Strategic

  • Use Sniper Mark on the boss.
  • Spam Storm Lance. When you crit with it, it consumes Sniper Mark and auto-detonates the next Lance for huge damage.
  • Reapply Sniper Mark and repeat.
  • Optional: You can just use Lightning Spear + Sniper Mark for bosses if you prefer a simpler loop—just expect a damage drop.

🔋 Leveling Tips

You can level as Lightning Spear, but it doesn’t feel amazing until later. Consider leveling with Twister, then transition.

  • Early Passive Focus: Accuracy + Elemental Damage
  • Priority Nodes: Head toward Spear clusters and Electrocution nodes
  • Key Milestones:
    • Combat Frenzy passive (Frenzy charge on freeze/electrocute/pin every 4.4s)
    • Koko’s Current Gloves for reliable electrocution

🆕 A skill called “Strike” might help with charge generation soon!


🔚 Endgame Power (T15 Capable)

  • Clears hardest content in the game.
  • Very low investment: under 3 Divines.
  • Didn’t even require a 6-link or 4th ascendancy to get there.

🛡️ Gear Priorities

🗡️ Weapon

  • High accuracy
  • High crit chance
  • Added phys/lightning damage
  • Sealass spear base is best-in-slot

🧤 Gloves

  • Koko’s Current Jeweled Gloves – borderline mandatory
    • Enables electrocution to trigger frenzy generation

🛡️ Shield

  • Unique with double accuracy rating is great, but rare
  • A solid rare shield will do just fine

🪖 Helmet, Armor, Boots

  • Evasion or hybrid ES/Evasion
  • Prioritize:
    • Life
    • Resistances
    • Spirit (on body)
    • Movement Speed (on boots)

💍 Rings & Amulet

  • Look for:
    • Flat lightning/physical damage
    • Accuracy
    • Crit chance
    • Projectile skills
    • Life and resists
    • Dexterity!

💡 This build is attribute-heavy – don’t neglect Dex, Int, and Strength on gear!


🏹 Amazon Huntress Ascendancy

  1. Overcap Crit via Accuracy:
    Crit chance can exceed 100%, and ¼ of excess accuracy turns into more crit chance. Stack that accuracy!
  2. Accuracy = Flat Physical Damage
  3. Elemental Infusion – boosts elemental damage
  4. Predatory Instinct – better than the alternate node on the same tree

🌲 Passive Tree Guide

  • Start with Accuracy, Elemental, and Dex nodes
  • Move into:
    • Spear Nodes – amazing boosts to projectiles, crits, and attack speed
    • Falcon Dive – attack speed per accuracy
    • Herald Buffs – synergy with Herald of Thunder
    • Crit + Charge Nodes
    • Lightning Penetration
    • Eventually, add defensive layers like block (aim for ~72–73%)

  • Struggling with charges? Mark trash mobs to trigger frenzy gain
  • Consider Tame Beast as your companion for smoother utility
