How to Use Lightning Spear

Used Against a Single Target

The spell is mainly used against a single target and is particularly effective against enemies with low resistance to Lightning damage. Most notably, Lightning damage is strong against heavily armored knights, dragons, and snakelike enemies.

The casting time for this spell is very fast which allows you to throw lightning spears in quick succession. Keeping your distance against aggressive enemies and hurling spears at them is an effective strategy that can be used in both defensive and offensive situations.

Can be Charged for a Small AoE

Charging this spell will increase its overall damage output and creates a small AoE that can hit multiple enemies at once if they are in close enough proximity to each other. The Godfrey Icon talisman can further increase the damage of the charged attack.

Damage Can be Buffed with Additional Equipment

Dragon Cult Incantations are best paired with the Gravel Stone Seal as it will boost the effectiveness of these incantations by 15%. Holding a duplicate Seal in your other hand will stack the bonus effect, further increasing its effectiveness.

Since this is a Lightning-based Incantation, it will greatly benefit from the effects of the Lightning Scorpion Charm but it is to note that while this talisman is equipped, your damage negation is lowered.

Charging Increases Power

Charing the incantation increases its power the more you hold it. Use it against unsuspecting enemies or when they're far away from you.

Best Used to Wear Enemies Down

Lightning Spear has a fast casting time with a projectile that travels far enough to be safe from most attacks, making this incantation useful when trying to wear your enemies down.

It's also effective against mages that use spells with slow casting time.
