Lightning Damage is a type of Elemental Damage dealt by both players and enemies alike. Lightning Damage is often effective against heavily armored enemies, dragons and other draconic or serpentine creatures. Most enemies that utilize Lightning Damage will often (but not always) have high resistance or immunity to Lightning Damage.

Most Weapons can be upgraded via the Lightning Upgrade Path in order to imbue them with Lightning Damage properties. There are also Weapons that can be found which innately deal Lightning Damage. See the Upgrades and individual weapon pages for details.
