Lightning Storm speeds up charging for each Bolt fired in a row. The stacks build as long as every shot is a Bolt, and break the moment V swaps weapons or fires an ordinary shot. It sits in the Tech weapon branch of the Technical Ability tree. Consistency is what it pays for.
Effect
Charge time is the real rate of fire on a Tech weapon. Cutting it on each successful Bolt means a run of good shots gets faster as it goes.
The reset is strict. Any shot that is not a Bolt, or a change of weapon, takes the whole set away, so the perk rewards a build that has already made Bolts dependable.

Character Builds
It suits a Tech weapon Technical Ability build that has already made its Bolts reliable, since a single ordinary shot takes the whole set away.
Buy it at the Phenom gate from Bolt, after Internal Clock and In Charge. The faster charging compounds through a run of shots, which rewards a build that commits to the Tech weapon rather than swapping between it and something conventional.
Notes
Internal Clock widens the Bolt window, which is what keeps a run of them alive long enough to stack.
In Charge stops an accidental full charge discharge, which would otherwise break the chain.
