Abilities & Strategy
What the in-game dungeon journal describes for the Lei Shen encounter. Every ability links to its spell page.
Abilities & Strategy
Lightning Conduits
While Lei Shen is in range of a Lightning Conduit he powers it, granting him an additional ability specific to that Lightning Conduit. The energy level of the Conduit increases the longer Lei Shen charges it, increasing damage dealt by the granted ability. When the Conduit's power reaches 100 energy, it will increase the level of the Conduit, and the Conduit's power will reset to 0.
North Conduit: Static Shock
Lei Shen charges the target with Static Shock. As the level of the Static Shock Conduit increases, the number of targets Lei Shen afflicts with Static Shock will also increase. Damage of Static Shock increases as the Power and Level of the North Conduit increases.
East Conduit: Diffusion Chain
Lei Shen zaps a player, inflicting Nature damage. This attack chains to nearby enemies, inflicting increased damage to each successive target. Each time Diffusion Chain strikes an enemy, a Diffused Lightning spawns at that location. As the level of the Diffusion Chain Conduit increases, the spawned Diffused Lightning elementals grow more powerful. Damage of Diffusion Chain increases as the Power and Level of the East Conduit increases.
Diffused Lightning
Diffusion Chain creates a Diffused Lightning for every target it strikes. Diffused Lightning's attacks cause Chain Lightning. In Heroic difficulty, the Diffused Lightning will fixate on the player that it spawned from.
South Conduit: Overcharge
Lei Shen Overcharges a target player. The player becomes rooted and after 6 sec causes Overcharge to burst, creating a torus of electric energy around the target that quickly expands to create a ring with a safe area in the center. This burst inflicts Nature damage, stunning affected targets for 3 sec. As the level of the Overcharge Conduit increases, the number of targets Lei Shen afflicts with Overcharge also increases. Damage of Overcharge increases as the Power and Level of the South Conduit increases.
West Conduit: Bouncing Bolt
Lei Shen conjures Bouncing Bolts that target random locations on the ground. If the Bouncing Bolt does not impact with a player, an Unharnessed Power forms, and the Bouncing Bolt bounces again. As the level of the Bouncing Bolt Conduit increases, the number of Bouncing Bolts that Lei Shen conjures also increases. Damage of Bouncing Bolt increases as the Power and Level of the West Conduit increases.
Unharnessed Power
Each time a Bouncing Bolt impacts the ground and is not absorbed by a player, an Unharnessed Power forms.

Crashing Thunder

Intermission: Supercharge Conduits!
When he has 65% health remaining, Lei Shen casts Supercharge Conduits, becoming invulnerable and activating all four Conduits at once, supercharging them and increasing their level by one. Lei Shen can only maintain Supercharge Conduits for 45 seconds. When he has 30% health remaining, Lei Shen casts Supercharge Conduits, becoming invulnerable and activating all four Conduits at once, supercharging them and increasing their level by one. In Heroic difficulty, instead of the Overloaded Conduit becoming disabled, it remains active for the remainder of the fight, granting Lei Shen the ability.
Overloaded Circuits
The Conduit with the highest charge after Supercharge Conduits expires becomes Overloaded, disabling the Conduit. In Heroic difficulty, instead of the Overloaded Conduit becoming disabled, it remains active for the remainder of the fight, granting Lei Shen that ability.
