Thunder Arrow

Loads your [First Shot] with a piercing thunderbolt that scales with projectile count and triple-dips damage categories (Bullet, Transmutation, Battle Skill). Entering [Overload] auto-reloads, letting you fish for first shots far more often. Multishot lightning builds love it.

Quick answer

PICK IT WHEN

Take it when your current route already produces the first shot, lightning, volley signals. The value comes from repeating that event, not from the item name or rarity alone.

WATCH OUT

If none of its triggers are happening yet, keep the slot open for a pick that strengthens the engine already on screen.
