Build Type Amazon - Lightning Strike - Optimized
Mercenary Act I Cold 
Main Skills Lightning Strike, Charged Strike, Power Strike, Lightning Bolt, Valkyrie

Build Overview

A melee-range lightning Amazon built around chaining damage with Lightning Strike for packs and bursting bosses with Charged Strike.

It’s strongest when you want high clear speed plus elite boss and Uber kill power and you can play around position-heavy combat.

The main reason to choose this build is the self-wielded Infinity Matriarchal Spear: Conviction + -lightning resistance applies directly to your own attacks, giving very high effective boss damage.

Pros

  • Very fast boss killer once gear is in place, especially for isolated or semi-isolated targets.
  • Great density clear in packed zones because Lightning Strike chains repeatedly around nearby enemies.
  • Flexible across endgame content (Pit, Chaos, Worldstone Keep/Baal, Travincal, Ubers) once resistance and life targets are met.

Cons

  • Meaty melee risk: you spend most time in close range and must respect monster telegraphed attacks and projectiles.
  • High gear dependency for full potential (Infinity spear, IAS, resistances, -% enemy LR).
  • Lightning Immunes still need careful handling via immunity-breaking tools (Crack of the Heavens/LR).
  • Teleport/FCR is weak unless you build swap frames around Call to Arms + Spirit.


How To Play

Loop: pre-buff (Battle Command + Battle Orders), cast Valkyrie/Decoy, engage, clear with Lightning Strike, swap to Charged Strike on bosses and high-value isolated targets, fallback to Jab on unbroken immunes, recast Valkyrie/Decoy as needed.


Positioning: keep enemies grouped before LS, kite and step around target’s hitbox for Charged Strike impact placement (3/6/9/12 o’clock style).


Boss strategy: open with Valkyrie/Decoy to stabilize threat, drop to Lightning Strike only when safe, then Charged Strike on stationary phases; refresh BO/BC often in long runs.


Aura/tool usage: let self-held Infinity supply Conviction; use Enigma for teleport mobility; CTA + Spirit as swap is used for buffing and FCR-based repositioning.
