Mechanics

  • Deal no Non-Lightning Damage - Character can only deal Lightning damage (though not limited to Lightning skills). Any other type of damage will not work, though skills will still hit.
  • Armour also applies to Lightning Damage taken from Hits - Armour calculations now apply to Lightning Damage taken from hits, but not Lightning damage over time.
  • 'Lightning Resistance does not affect Lightning Damage taken - The player character takes Lightning Damage as if it always has 0% Lightning Resistance, for both hits and damage over time. This does not influence items that care about your actual resistance value e.g. Choir of the Storm. This also means that enemy curses, exposure, or penetration to Lightning Resistance has no effect on the player.
  • 'Nearby Enemies have Lightning Resistance equal to yours - All nearby enemies will have Lightning Resistance equal to your character screen value. For example, if you had -150% Lightning Resistance on your character screen, the enemy would have -150% Lightning Res. Enemy resistances cannot be lowered further with curses, exposure, or other methods. However, Lightning Penetration will still function as penetration does not lower Resistances, but deals damage as if the enemy had that much lower resists. This functions even at the -200% cap; however, due to diminishing returns, Lightning Penetration Support or its Awakened variant are typically weaker gem choices.

Strategies

  • Defense
    • Lightning Resistance does not affect Lightning Damage taken causes your player to take damage as if it had 0% Lightning Resistance; in a vacuum, this means a player would take 4 times as much damage as a player with 75% Lightning Res.
    • Converting 100% of lightning damage taken as to other damage types with 75% or greater resistance will negate this problem.
      • This is most easily achieved with Glorious Vanity with Divine Flesh (or Mahuxotl's Machination) and a Avian Twins Talisman that converts lightning damage. Mahuxotl's Machination with Lethal Pride with Tempered by War can also be used, but Tempered by War will halve your negative Lightning Resistance, requiring a player to reach effectively -400% Lightning Resistance to reach the -200% cap. The Tempered by War method sacrifices damage for a significant boost to survivability.
    • Characters who do not convert all of their lightning damage taken as other damage types, can reduce damage taken from hits with armour, Fortify, Molten Shell, and other forms of mitigation. Determination as an Aura is also recommended.
  • Offense
    • Enemy Lightning Res can be lowered by reducing your own Lightning Res, increasing the damage they take without causing you to be any more vulnerable at extreme values due to the line Lightning Resistance does not affect Lightning Damage taken.
    • Your own Lightning Res can be lowered through a variety of methods, including items such as Ventor's Gamble, Immortal Flesh, Thread of Hope, Melding of the Flesh, or Uul-Netol's Vow; cursing one's self using Shackles of the Wretched or Rotblood Promise with Conductivity and/or Elemental Weakness
      • League-specific items include gear with the Scourge mod -X% to Lightning Resistance or a mirrored ring or amulet from the Lake of Kalandra with negative Lightning/Elemental resistance.
