Relay Bolt has a charge time of  1 sec, after which a 3-second stun hits anything in the target area. Moreover, it also hits anything under it. Also, it can stun enemies up to a certain altitude.

But, if there are enemies at multiple altitudes, there is a very good chance that the one at higher altitude won’t get hit if one aims relay bolt at the ground. Instead, in certain cases, one can aim at a higher enemy. So, the enemy underneath gets hit and also the one at a higher altitude.

In certain heaven hell map situations like in Ascent B-site, one can aim at heaven floor above from hell and hit directly someone above and vice versa. Furthermore, the bolt can bounce and has the same speed as a fully charged Sova Bolt.
