Royal Capacitor

The  is a new equipment in Risk of Rain 2. While equipped, a targeting reticle appears over the monster nearest to the player's cursor. Activating the equipment while an enemy is targeted in this way calls a lightning strike on that enemy after a short delay, dealing massive damage and stunning all enemies.

Tips

 * The Royal Capacitor deals a large amount of damage in one single hit. This makes stacking many a great option when using this item.


 * Using the Royal Capacitor with many, , and will instantly obliterate any monsters the player looks at. Be mindful of entering the Bazaar Between Time with this combo, as it may damage the Newt and lock the player out. Avoid this by looking away from the Newt and walking backwards into the Bazaar.


 * The lightning strike has a 3m blast radius, and can hit multiple enemies when they are grouped close together.

Trivia

 * The Royal Capacitor is possibly inspired or referenced off of Sprague Powerlytic Capacitors, which have the same structure as the text on the texture for the Royal Capacitor.
 * The text on the texture reads as:
 * Calorum - Company that made it
 * Powerlytic - The name that they called their capacitor
 * 3600DE - The type of Powerlytic
 * 40000-810000DC - The range of voltage in direct current
 * 910256L - Inductance
 * In reality, the capacitor should have a capacitance value listed, not an inductance.
 * Additionally, although L is the letter used to represent inductance as a concept, the unit of measure for inductance is actually Henris (H).
