Jagged Bolt

Jagged Bolt is a Power for Nina. It fires a fast electrical projectile diagonally above the player's facing direction. As the projectile travels, if an enemy becomes aligned in the 8 cardinal directions, the bolt will change direction towards the enemy. This can occur once per projectile.

Power Fusions
Jagged Bolt's fusion effect, Homing, grants all powers it is fused with the ability to track and chase enemies; these fusions are typically a bit weaker to compensate for how powerful its homing ability is.
