Royal Capacitor

The  is an 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 it after a short delay, dealing 3000% damage in a 3m radius and stunning monsters nearby.

Tips

 * The Royal Capacitor deals colossal damage in a single hit, so stacking many augments its already great power.


 * Using the Royal Capacitor with many, , and Crowbars will instantly smite 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.
 * Due to the Royal Capacitor's short cooldown, it benefits especially strongly from the.

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).
