When the holder damages an enemy, there is a 10% chance that lightning will strike that enemy, dealing 500% (+500% per stack) total damage.

The lightning strike has a proc coefficient of 1.0.

Notes[]

  • Correction: This item does total damage, meaning it deals 500% of the damage of the hit that triggered it, not 500% base damage.
  • The lightning strike is almost identical to that of the Royal Capacitor Royal CapacitorBgEquipmentRoyal Capacitor20sRoyal Capacitor
    Call down a lightning strike on a targeted monster.

    Call down a lightning strike on a targeted monster, dealing 3000% damage and stunning nearby monsters.
    , in which they both have a delayed strike that can be avoided by the target if said target is fast enough.
  • Unlike all other total damage items, the Charged Perforator rolls its critical strike chance independently of the triggering hit; the rest of the total damage items will land critical strikes if and only if the activating hit is a critical strike.

Tips[]

  • The Charged Perforator is especially effective for dealing with flying monsters, since the lightning strike deals severe downward knockback. An airborne enemy struck by lightning will be pushed down at high speeds, suffering heavy damage when it collides with the ground.
    • This is even more effective for monsters flying above bottomless pits, as they will be instantly killed when shoved downwards.

> Upon structural investigation, found cavities and internal batteries
> Reduce lab electricity by 10 kilowatts
> Electron generating veins present - charge is being supplied to the tooth?
> Removed my lab coat, very staticky
> Electron generation is still occurring in the severed object
> Put some more ice in my drink WOW it's electric
> Timestamping for dance break
