Lightning (, Kaminari?), also known as Thunder and Electric, is a recurring element in the Final Fantasy series. 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.

Recurring themes[]

Equipment[]

Lightning does not commonly have a large set of equipment devoted to it. Diamond equipment is usually resistant to Lightning and the Rubber Suit nulls any exposure to voltage, though the Rubber Suit is sometimes female-exclusive. A common weapon of the lightning element would be the Coral Sword.

Spells[]

As one of the three main elements, Lightning has four tiers of basic spells: Thunder, Thundara, Thundaga, and Thundaja. Final Fantasy XI offers the more powerful Burst. Electrocute is a lightning attack typically used by enemies. Electon is the ultimate lightning spell in Final Fantasy XV. Barthunder is a spell and status that protects against lightning damage specifically.

Summons[]

Ramuh is the most recurring summon of Lightning, possessing the spell Judgment Bolt. In Final Fantasy VIII, he is replaced by Quezacotl, whose special attack is Thunder Storm. In Spira, the horse-like Ixion is the Lightning summon, whose Overdrive is Thor's Hammer. Adrammelech is the reigning Lightning Esper of Ivalice, whose special attack is also Judgment Bolt. In Final Fantasy XIII, Odin serves as the lightning-elemental Eidolon.

Enemies[]

Most aquatic enemies tend to be weak against Lightning, with the Bolt Fish being one of the few exceptions to this rule. Mechanical enemies are also usually weak against Lightning, but in some games, they absorb it.

Final Fantasy V[]

It is one of the three starting elements, alongside fire and ice. Many mechanical enemies are susceptible to it. Diamond equipment resist lightning damage.

Final Fantasy VI[]

Many mechanical and aquatic enemies are weak to lightning damage. The lightning-elemental esper is Ramuh, though Valigarmanda also has the lightning element among others.

Final Fantasy VII[]

One of the two initial elements the player can access, as Cloud comes equipped with a Lightning Materia. Its standard spell line is Bolt, its summon is Ramuh, and its learnable Enemy Skill is Trine. When Vincent is in Death Gigas form, he may use the lightning-elemental Livewire. Kujata, Typhon, and Magic Breath also include it. Bolt Plume, Swift Bolt and Dragon Fang are Lightning-elemental battle items.

Lightning tends to work well against machines and aquatic enemies, making it useful for the prolific amount of machines in the early game. It can be warded with the Bolt Armlet and Bolt Ring, among other means.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-[]

Lightning is one of three basic elements, alongside fire and ice. The player can use various lightning-elemental physical attacks via command materia and spells via magic materia, as well as attach the element to Zack's normal attacks with Elemental Strike and accessories. Lightning has a fourth tier spell that fire and ice lineages of spells lack: Electrocute. The player can protect against lightning damage with materia setups and accessories.

Final Fantasy VII remake project[]

Lightning Lightning is one of the four elements in Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The lightning element is mainly effective on mechanical enemies, including various bosses. Lightning Materia Lightning Materia grants the user thunder spells which will immediately hit the target, meaning they never miss, making it one of the better spells to use with Synergy Materia Synergy Materia. When paired with Elemental Materia Elemental Materia, the player can make their weapon lightning-elemental. Yuffie can make her ninjutsu lightning-elemental and in Rebirth, Cloud's Firebolt Blade has part of the attack being lightning-elemental. The Lightning-elemental summon is Ramuh, and Kujata in Rebirth is tri-elemental with fire and ice also at his disposal.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis[]

Lightning is one of the six elements. It opposes Water, with some Water-based enemies, such as Leviathan and Aqua Rangda, being weak to it. It is also a common weakness of machine enemies, such as the Air Buster. It is represented by the summon Ramuh.

Final Fantasy VIII[]

Thunder is an element whose Guardian Force is Quezacotl, the player's starting GF. Many mechanical enemies are weak to Thunder damage. The element has three spells (Thunder, Thundara, Thundaga) and a Limit Break as well (Electrocute).

Final Fantasy IX[]

Thunder element is opposed to Water. The player can use it with Vivi's Blk Mag, Steiner's Swd Mag and Thunder Slash (though Thunder Slash will miss due to the Thunder Slash glitch), Dagger's Ramuh and certain elemental weapons. Certain equipment pieces also boost the equipper's Thunder damage.

Final Fantasy X[]

Lightning element is opposed to Water, many aquatic and mechanical enemies being weak to it. The player can use it via Black Magic, Wakka's Element Reels, various items and mixes, as well as weapons with Lightningstrike. The player can protect against it with NulShock and Lightning-warding armor abilities.

Final Fantasy X-2[]

Lightning again opposes water. The player gains various means of dealing lightning damage through dresspheres, Garment Grids, and accessories. Many aquatic enemies are weak to it, while machina tend to resist it or even absorb it, in contrast to many series's games where machine enemies are weak to lightning.

Final Fantasy XI[]

The Lightning Element.
The Lightning Element.

The Lightning element is strong against Water and weak to Earth. It is aligned with the attribute of Dexterity. The status ailment corresponding to Lightning is Shock, and it drains HP and Mind off the target.

Final Fantasy XII[]

Lightning is opposed to ice. The lightning-elemental Esper is Adrammelech. The player can deal lightning damage with the Thunder line of Black Magicks and the White Fang item, and some weapons enhance the power of lightning, and some of these weapons are also lightning-elemental themselves, like the Storm Spear. Lightning-elemental damage is amplified by 20% in rainy weather and in water terrain. The lightning-affected gambits are "Foe: lightning-weak" and "Foe: lightning-vulnerable"; the latter triggers against any foe that does not outright absorb the element, even if the foe is immune to lightning. The main ways for the player to protect against enemies' lightning attacks are by equipping the Diamond Armlet or the Rubber Suit, though other, more difficult to obtain, gear also exist. Many ice enemies are weak to lightning, such as the enemies at Paramina Rift. Many mimic-type enemies (but not all) will absorb it.

Etymology[]

Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge during an electrical storm between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud lightning or IC), between that cloud and another cloud (CC lightning), or between a cloud and the ground (CG lightning).

Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending on the distance and nature of the lightning, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble (brontide).
