Flip backward and Channel to charge your Quarterstaff with Lightning. Releasing dashes towards the target location, damaging enemies along the way. Releasing with Perfect Timing performs a Lightning-assisted dash that releases shockwaves from enemies you dash through. Perfectly Timed dash also explodes Tempest Bells on hit creating a shockwave that deals more damage and has a larger area, leaving Shocked Ground in its wake. This skill cannot be Ancestrally Boosted.
