⚡️ 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.

- 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
- Overcap Crit via Accuracy:
Crit chance can exceed 100%, and ¼ of excess accuracy turns into more crit chance. Stack that accuracy! - Accuracy = Flat Physical Damage
- Elemental Infusion – boosts elemental damage
- 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%)
