Fortissax's Lightning Spear is a Remembrance incantation that levitates the caster for a short while before conjuring and plunging two red lightning spears into the ground. The spears do good damage upon hit, and the AoE lightning wave can hit enemies trying to surround the caster.

How to Use Fortissax's Lightning Spear

Best Used When Getting Surrounded

Foritssax's Lightning Spear is most effective when you are about to be surrounded by enemies as the lightning strikes will hit anything within a massive AoE. Being a lightning-based incantation, its damage also gets a small boost if you cast it while standing on water.

As of Patch 1.04, Fortissax's Lightning Spear now has more poise when casting, increased casting speed, and a faster recovery animation. These buffs have finally made it viable for PvE combat since players are now less likely to get interrupted by basic attacks while casting.

Spear Hits Deal Massive Damage

Enemies hit by Fortissax's Lightning Spear at point-blank range will receive more damage than those hit by its AoE lightning wave. The closer the enemies are to the point of impact, the more damage is dealt to them.

Due to this proximity damage modifier, Fortissax's Lightning Spear is not only limited to crowd control. In fact, the increased damage upon contact can be used against recovering or stance-broken bosses in PvE.

Damage is Boosted by the Gravel Stone Seal

Players can boost the damage of Fortissax's Lightning Spear by equipping the Gravel Stone Seal. Since the best Faith-scaling seal is the Erdtree Seal, wield the Gravel Stone Seal in your off-hand while casting with your primary seal to boost the damage of Fortissax's Lightning Spear significantly.

Since the seal's buff effect is passive, it is not necessary to upgrade your Gravel Stone Seal unless you will be using it as your primary casting seal.
