Description

Her ability combinations are built to maximize the number of targets struck by bouncing Voltaic strikes and adding Pyro Manipulation explosions to them. The downside is that her ability combinations tend to have high AP cost.
Tactics
Stacks Voltaic Manipulation and Static Field abilities for multiple bouncing voltaic attacks.
Uses Create Water to inflict Wet on characters and maximize the Shock state.
Uses Drive Through when cornered and stays at range, only using her Shockram's axe form in emergencies.
Attempts to maximize the number of attacks per turn with Voltaic abilities and ranged Boomerang attacks.

Signature Ability
Fractal Conduction
Nexus hurls her Shockram into the air, raining lightning down on those below it. The air fractures into repeating patterns of voltaic energy. Each pulse ricochets into bouncing lightning strikes.
Base: Voltaic Manipulation
Upgrades: 8 Points
2 +Application
Link Ability: AOE
2 +AOE
Notes: This takes the basic Voltaic Manipulation ability and makes it into a powerful AOE. +Application allows lightning to strike multiple times in the area or multiple areas. One of the core designs of voltaic abilities is its Bounce trait when it hits a target. This creates a large amount of low damage hits as the voltaic energy bounces multiple times between hit targets and requires the targets to choose between using all of their RP for defense or take the hits.
Unique Traits
Academy Lab Coat Modification: Nexus wears an Academy Lab Coat that is attuned to both th Pyro and Voltaic elements.
