Lightning (element)

Lightning is a recurring element in the Final Fantasy. It is one of the earliest elements introduced and forms a trifecta with Fire and Ice. Mechanical enemies are typically weak to this element. It is usually the opposing element of Water, but occasionally it can be the opposing element of Poison and Ice.

Equipment
Unlike Fire and Ice, Thunder does not commonly have a large set of equipment devoted to it. However, Crystal Equipment is usually resistant to Thunder, and the female-exclusive Rubber Suit nulls any exposure to voltage. A common weapon of the thunder element would be the Coral Sword.

Spells
As one of the three main elements, Thunder has four tiers of basic spells: Thunder, Thundara, Thundaga, and Thundaja. Final Fantasy XI offers the more powerful Burst.

Summons
Ramuh is the most recurring summon of Thunder, possessing the spell Judgement Bolt. In Final Fantasy VIII, he was replaced by Quezacotl, whose special attack was Thunder Storm. In Spira, the horse-like Ixion was the Lightning summon, whose Overdrive is Thor's Hammer. Adrammelech, the Wroth is the reigning Thunder Esper of Ivalice, whose special attack is also Judgement Bolt.
