Tempest Lich Staff
The Tempest Lich Staff is a ranged weapon from the Fantasy Evil faction. It is used by the Tempest Lich.
Characteristics
The Tempest Lich Staff is a weapon used by the Tempest Lich. Upon use, a storm cloud appears above and strikes anything below with lightning. Each storm cloud will create 36 lightning bolts within a 3 WM radius, where the lightning bolt will inflict heavy damage to whoever was directly hit and creates a blast that shakes the earth and injures those adjacent to it. Together with the high frequency, a unit may get trapped within the storm, constantly juggled by the lightning bolts.
While seemingly dangerous and exceedingly powerful, the lightning bolts strike randomly in a big area over the consecutively and rarely strikes the same unit multiple times. It is possible for two lightning bolts to strike at the same time, but it is almost impossible for a moving unit to be struck by all lightning bolts directly. Furthermore, heavy units can easily escape the storm cloud as they are not as affected as the ground shake; fast units can easily outrun the storm cloud and leave it in the dust, and hovering units are invulnerable to the splash damage from the lightning bolts, but still can be injured when directly hit.
Nevertheless, the Tempest Lich Staff can create humongous amounts of damage over an area from a medium range, though contained only by its long cooldown period. So overall, it's a good weapon for your custom unit if you want to damage as much of the army as possible.
