Currently level 87 with no skill points or quests available.
I've been using Harmony on switch to run and then switching back to faith in duels but I've noticed that used titans/ss gives a safer run and just as much or slightly less speed.
I'm willing to level up to 92 to put 4-5 points in the java tree to use lightning bolt. <--I'm wondering if 1 point in lightning bolt while using titans is strong enough to deal any damage? I've never made a javazon before so asking now.

Gear/stats so far.
I need to level up to 91 to be able to use ss.
Anyways, the question again
I'm wondering if 1 point in lightning bolt while using titans is strong enough to deal any damage? I've never made a javazon before so asking now

[crawlingdeadman]

as i can say from dueling stus legend, yes one point in bolt is effective. none of your screenies work though. for me that is.

The screenshots on that page should work.
>> Honestly it's because of stuslegend's video that I want to use the titan switch ^^

[crawlingdeadman]

he's tough as hell. i have gotten practice vs him now and i think i go 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 now, still tough as hell. i think what happened with the screenies is that you copied and pasted the links from that thread? if you did the ...'s in the middle of the truncated url will screw it up. that's why i like to highlight something to link makes it less likely to screw up.

[DayDream]

Right. That is what I did and suspected what was wrong.
Do you know what charms?
I'm thinking of replacing some of my gcs for

Bowazon with titans/ss on switch. Do I use lightning bolt or fury? And what is the difference?

LIGHTNING FURY - "A lightning bolt that splits on impact". Formerly called 'Zeus Bolt', this skill imbues a thrown javelin with a powerful thunderbolt attack, and adds lightning damage to the normal javelin damage. The real damage boost is from the streams of Lightning that are emitted towards every monster in range.
The thrown javelin hits a target, and shoots out a lightning bolt (not Chain Lightning) towards every monster in range. The number of bolts increase with more points in the skill, but it only shoots one at each target; you don't shoot 10 at one target if you only have two monsters on the screen and Slvl 9 in the skill. The real key is that with Pierce you can hit multiple targets with each throw, and each hit will send more lightning bolts out. A good throw that has say 20 monsters in a pack, and hits 4 of them, would send out nearly 80 bolts, with each bolt dealing around 250 damage at Slvl 20. That's 20,000 damage with one throw!

Pierce is very useful with LF for the following reason. The percentages listed are the chances of Pierce working on a given target. The first target is the % listed on the skill info in the game. The second target is the % chance of Pierce working two times in a row: (.71 x .71 = .5041 at Slvl 10).

Target Slvl 10 Slvl 12 Slvl 14 Slvl 16 Slvl 18 Slvl 20 Slvl 25
1st 71% 75% 79% 82% 83% 85% 90%
2nd 50% 56% 62% 67% 69% 75% 81%
3rd 36% 42% 49% 55% 57% 61% 73%
4th 25% 32% 39% 45% 47% 52% 65%
5th 18% 24% 31% 37% 39% 44% 59%

As you can see your odds for hitting the first target increase a little, but the odds of getting 3 or 4 or 5 hits increase much more with higher levels in Pierce, making them very worth it if you're doing huge mob areas, such as the Secret Cow Level.

The javelin will emit bolts when it hits a wall also, so this works well if the target is near a wall, since if Pierce activates there will be target damage, and then bolts coming back from the wall as well. If you have a stubborn single target, maneuver the boss so that he's right next to a wall, column, rock, tree, cottage, etc. Anything that you can throw through the monster into the wall, for the Piercing bonus.

Lightning Fury is one the very best skills in the game for any character, especially when used on mobs. You want to try and gather up as many monsters in the same area as possible, and this has given rise to the popular cow level tactic of "herding". It can be used in many other areas of the game as well, and is the key to success with Lightning Fury.

This is an "always hits" skill, and will always hit the target if you aim it correctly, regardless of your AR.

This skill is it for a Javazon; most will want to max it out for the fastest killing speed possible. If you are using other skills as well, you might just put 10 or so points into this, which is enough to be quite effective, and will save you points for other skills.

LIGHTNING BOLT "Changes a thrown javelin into lightning". A nifty graphic and sound effect accompany this skill, which turns a normal javelin into a sizzling bolt of lightning.
The baby brother of Lightning Fury, this skill looks nifty and can be useful early on, but is in every way improved upon by Lightning Fury at Clvl 30.

This is an "always hits" skill, and will always hit the target if you aim it correctly, regardless of your AR.

Lightning Bolt is useful only as a pre-requisite for the more powerful skills lower in the tree. Converts 100% Physical Damage To Elemental Damage

when stuslegend was kicking me around with his bowa he used bolt (pretty sure anyway). i know a lot of "real" pvp javas (read non fc zons) use it for their ranged attack since it requires a lot less mana and can therefore be spammed a lot better.

I tried bolting my friend and it didn't seem to do much damage. Against what classes are bolt best against?
