Bolt Storm Caster

Unleash devastating chain lightning with this S+ tier bolt build. High burst damage with AoE potential.

Overview

The Bolt Storm Caster is one of the strongest DPS builds in Shiba Story Go. It focuses on stacking bolt skills to unlock Bolt Expertise and then amplifying bolt damage through legendaries and mythics. The core loop is: fire bolts -> trigger Storm Clouds AoE -> Burst Shatter for rage reduction.

Core Skills (Priority Order)

  1. Bolt Strike (Common) - Your foundation. Unlocks bolt attacks after regular attacks.
  2. Bolt Mastery (Legendary) - Massive bolt damage multiplier. Take this ASAP.
  3. Storm Clouds (Legendary) - Gives bolts a chance to deal AoE damage. Build-defining.
  4. Charged Bolt (Mythic, S+) - 50% chance for super bolts. Enormous damage increase.
  5. Bolt Expertise (Mythic, S+) - +15% bolt damage. Requires 5 bolt tags.
  6. Bolt Surge (Legendary) - Additional bolts per attack. More bolts = more Storm Cloud procs.
  7. Burst Shatter (Legendary) - Bolt counter that reduces enemy rage. Great for survivability.

Supporting Skills

  • Crit Mastery (Legendary) - Bolts can crit, making this very strong.
  • Combo Mastery (Legendary) - More attacks = more bolt procs.
  • Boost ATK (Common) - Raw damage increase.
  • Boost Crit Chance (Common) - Pairs with Crit Mastery.

Strategy Tips

  • Rush bolt tag skills early to unlock Bolt Expertise by mid-game.
  • Storm Clouds + Bolt Surge is the bread-and-butter combo. Each bolt independently rolls for Storm Cloud, so more bolts = exponential AoE scaling.
  • Don’t sleep on Burst Shatter - rage reduction keeps you alive against tough bosses.
  • In Raids, this build excels at clearing waves quickly but can struggle against single targets with high rage. Consider pairing with an ice support for crowd control.
