Shockchain Arrow is a Tier 11 Lightning-based bow skill in Path of Exile 2 that fires a homing projectile toward enemies afflicted by Lightning Ailments. On impact, it consumes Shock to release a powerful shockwave and split chaining beams to nearby targets. Ideal for ailment-heavy builds and chain-clearing setups.
"Fire a Lightning-infused arrow that homes in on enemies afflicted by Lightning Ailments. Hitting such an enemy will charge the arrow, causing it to release a damaging shockwave and split beams towards up to two nearby targets."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Shockchain Arrow gem with 4 Support Sockets.

Shockchain Arrow Advanced Mechanics – Top 5 FAQs
1. Does Shockchain Arrow require the player to apply Shock manually?
Yes. The projectile cannot inflict Shock itself. You must use external sources like Lightning Attunement, Electrocute, or Shock-on-hit gear to enable its chaining and shockwave effects.
2. Can the beams chain infinitely if enemies are shocked?
No. Each beam can chain up to 10 times. The chaining only continues if each new target is afflicted by a Lightning Ailment.
3. Does the shockwave scale with projectile damage or beam damage?
Shockwave damage is independent and scales with its own base value (140–572% of base). It benefits from Lightning and Attack Damage modifiers but not projectile-specific bonuses.
4. Can Shockchain Arrow be used with Mirage Archer or Totems?
Yes. It is compatible with Mirage Archer, Totem, Trap, and Mine supports. However, ailment application must still be handled externally.
5. Does quality affect all damage types or just Lightning?
Quality grants up to +20% more Lightning Damage, which applies to projectile, beam, and shockwave components equally.
