Arms of God Voltfield Guide — Chain Lightning Build, Stats & How to Craft

Voltfield is a Tier 3 Storm melee weapon whose Legendary passive — Chain Lightning — makes every hit arc to up to 5 nearby enemies, dealing 60% weapon damage per bounce. It's the best weapon for clearing rooms of spread-out enemies where Consecrated Mace's Holy Nova can't reach them all.

How Chain Lightning Works
Each swing hits your primary target for full damage, then creates a lightning bolt that jumps to the nearest enemy within 6 meters. This repeats up to 5 times. The same enemy can't be hit twice by the same chain. Total damage per swing with full chain: 100% + (60% × 5) = 400% weapon damage.
Key interaction: Chain Lightning can crit independently on each bounce. With high crit chance, a single swing can deal massive distributed damage.
Best Blessings
- Storm Caller — +35% Storm damage. Boosts both the primary hit and every chain bounce.
- Conduit — +1 chain bounce (6 total). 20% more total damage output.
- Static Shock — Chain lightning bounces stun enemies for 0.5s. Turns Voltfield into crowd control.
- Critical Storm — +25% crit chance for Storm weapons.
Best Character: Tempest
Tempest's Divine Form causes all Storm damage to chain an additional time (compounding with Conduit for 7 total bounces). The passive also gives +15% movement speed after a Storm kill.
Voltfield vs Consecrated Mace
| Situation | Better Weapon |
|-----------|--------------|
| Dense clusters (enemies touching) | Consecrated Mace (Holy Nova chains) |
| Spread-out enemies | Voltfield (Chain Lightning has 6m reach) |
| Boss fights | Consecrated Mace (Holy damage beats Storm vs high-HP targets) |
| Speed farming | Voltfield (faster attack speed, less setup) |
| Hard Mode survivability | Consecrated Mace (heal synergy) |
Voltfield is also the cheapest Tier 3 weapon to craft — only 5 Divine Fragments and 15,000 Gold — making it an excellent first Legendary weapon for new players entering the endgame.
