Notes
Part of the Storm Caller Bard Set.

One of the few lutes with the ability to deal damage. The lightning strike can be upgraded by equipping some of the items of the ST set. You lose the ability to give yourself and the group a DEF↑ DEF boost but you gain +5 DEF on equip.

The Wavecrest Concertina outclasses this lute in terms of DPS and is considered easier to obtain but the Thundering Chorus’s instantaneous damage with its slightly bigger AOE radius has the edge on fast moving targets or bosses that are often invulnerable.
