As such, Electrical Generation synergizes well with abilities that construct a continuous path between points. For instance, you can use {{favilink|Spinnerets}} to lay down a path of webs, or {{favilink|Force Wall}} to construct a forcefield between yourself and an enemy, directing your electric arcs towards enemies. The demo below (run with the "Draw electrical arcs" option enabled) shows an example of using Force Wall to hit several distant enemies at once. | As such, Electrical Generation synergizes well with abilities that construct a continuous path between points.

Creating [[Gas]] between you and your target also enables you to use the ability on range, but the direction is harder to control if the gas spreads in unwanted ways. As an upside, {{f|Plasma}} will also lower the enemies electrical resistance and is accessible to everyone in late game.
