Tavernkeep purchase and continuous electrical field
Purchased from the Tavernkeep for 15 Defender Medals after downing any mechanical boss, the Lightning Aura Cane deploys a tier-two electrical dome sentry on the terrain. Rather than firing individual projectiles, this stationary device generates a continuous spherical shock field on the ground. Any enemy entering the perimeter is zapped repeatedly at rapid intervals, ignoring hostile defense ratings entirely.
Monk armor synergies and crowd bottlenecking
Although its base damage displays as 11 sentry damage, the rapid tick rate and complete defense penetration make it effective against high-armor invaders like Drakins and Berserkers. Pairing this cane with Monk's Shirt enables critical strikes and escalates zap frequency across the shock zone. The Ruthless modifier remains the superior choice, giving the sentry raw base damage scaling that impacts every continuous tick.
Trivia
- The electrical dome ignores the defense stat of all enemies, making it equally effective against armored targets.
- Unlike projectile sentries, the aura cannot miss agile or fast-moving targets while they remain within the boundary.
