Hello, We all know that chain lightning damage is reduced by each jump. Is there a way to reverse that? Make every jump stronger instead of weaker? Thank you for responding me :)

If you set it too low or with too many bounces, it will expand exponentially and have a ridiculous amount of damage. I've never seen it actually bug though.

Example: we have a 200 damage lightning with -1 decay, and 7 bounces. 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, and you're at enough damage to kill the strongest heroes, from 200 damage... Chain lightning gets out of hand quickly when you make it grow, so be careful.

Just trigger your own chain lighting, you will need a dummy to cast the chains that will deal 0 points of damage and you will need to store the damage you want, this way you can create even a limitless chainlighting skill.
You can do it with casting time or with a damage detector system from another user.
To store the ammount of damage you are going to deal first set the mana of the first dummy unit to 0 then add him the damage you want to deal then increase it every bounce and set the mana of the new dummy to the mana of the previous and an augment.

well, i was thinkning about something like 200 and increase it by around 5-10%, chain lightning has -15% i guess, so lets add +5% up to +15%
