Lightning Rod is Stelle's very own 
Proboscis, allowing her to take advantage of a massive amount of board-wide Slow triggers and endlessly zap her enemies!
This build functions primarily as a pivot build, so while you can't always plan for it, you'll definitely want to keep it in mind for when the opportunity presents itself.
This build does not have a clear path from the early/mid game, so it exists more as a pivot option when the pieces present themselves. The two core components to watch for are Lightning Rod and 
Weather Machine. If you're interested in pursuing the build, you can attempt to stash one until you hopefully find the other.
The common Caracara + Aerial Turret game plan is probably the most likely transition point, as it's easy to assemble, but falls off during the mid game. However, you may also find yourself abandoning a rough start Balloon Engine or Molten Ball Blaster build (or anything really).
Lightning Rod weaponizes the absurd quantity of Slow triggers from items like Weather Machine, 
Fire Hose, and 
Flashbang.
Slow and Steady is the most reliable form of Damage scaling, but 
Freefall Simulator + 
Gyro Gunsight (or 
Airplane Glue) is a solid alternative.
Ni-Kola + 
Headset can fill any gaps in the build and help greatly increase its startup time.Lightning Rod builds to function, but also try to get reliable sustain whenever possible (ex. Restorative/Shielded).
Lunch Box + skills like 
Walk-in Clinic and 
Vital Reserve is very strong, but does need to have been pursued early on.Flashbang works best alongside Freefall Simulator, but is still very usable with a bit of 
Gunpowder or Ammo skills.
