Played lightning strike for a while this league as raider and figured i might league start it again as it felt very solid. Champion is the strongest choice in my opinion for a tri ele lightning striker right now though slayer is also a option for sure. Not much new can be said about champion at this point, permanent fortify synergy with perseverance is just too good, stacking armour and evasion and turning it into damage with a free onslaught on top. League startish pob, only 2 key uniques devouring diadem and perseverance. Both can be pricy at the start but are

I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built
