Chain Lightning has three effects:

  • Deal heavy LIGHTNING damage to one random enemy stack.
  • Deal weak LIGHTNING damage to all enemy stacks, based on number of units in the stack.
  • ONCOLOR only: decrease all enemy stacks attack power (Primary/Extra/Counter).

All three effects can be resisted separately.

Cast as a nether

Name - # of Units Attack Counter Hit point
Skeleton 815846 115 46 87
Wraith 8947 1380 0 1250
Zombie 140949 241 34 212
Pikeman 49500 110 44 108


weaver (#2239)'s 128657 Skeletons are slain.
weaver (#2239)'s 98 Wraiths are slain.
weaver (#2239)'s 9121 Zombies are slain.
weaver (#2239)'s 6288 Pikemen are slain.

CL damage
11 193 159 to skele = 13.7196 per skel
00 122 500 to wraith = 13.69 per wraith
01 933 652 to zombie = 13.7188060 per zombie
00 679 104 to pikeman = 13.71 per pikeman

I guess does 13.7 damage per unit to each stack.

Notes

  • Before 2007, this spell targeted all units (yours + enemy's). [1]


Given the nature of equations used to calculate the power of direct damage stacks, I would estimate the damage Chain Lightning deals is dictated by the following formula:

Spell Level * X * # of units in the stack

Where X is equal to: (Not sure whether this Nether had Magic favor. I am assuming he cast it with a base 470 Spell Level. The first number is without Magic favor, second is with. This coefficient is theorized to be 50% of on-color size for off-color casters, and 25% of on-color size for opposing color casters).

On-Color: .0582 or .0558 Off-Color: .0291 or .0279 Opposing Color: .01455 or .01395

Keep in mind that this is unconfirmed.
