Strategy

Players should avoid dying when unnecessary to save the passive ability for when it's actually needed. This class can be useful when playing solo, due to giving players a second chance. Intentionally dying to summon the Lightning Bolt can be situationally useful to clear enemies or for other utility purposes. Note that the Lightning Bolt can be redirected to a nearby Lightning Rod, which will most likely make it less useful. The invulnerability provided from the ability can be used to tank hits from dangerous enemies for a short amount of time. This is less practical with standard revives, due to another player required to be present (and thus putting themselves in danger). The Lighting Bolt can recharge the Electrocutioner, allowing you to recharge it by dropping it before you die.
