Summary0024861: Jormugandr Unique attack -- Combine deathstar beam with chain lightning (time permitting)
DescriptionTime constraints as they are, this should only be pursued if it's not a timesuck. But it would be super cool if we could combine the "death star" beam with chain lightning. (Death Lightning?)

Anyway, I tried to splice these together but the deathstar beam has priority it seems. No chain lightning effect. Here's my attempt at splicing the XML together -- the gap is just to make it clear where the chain lightning XML was added

Unless this is really fast I vote this be deferred until later; there's way too much do to before the release and I'd rather have MP stability or more art. Chain Lightning is already really cool and good for trailers.
