How to Use Lightning Slash

Calls Down Lightning and Imbues Weapon With Lightning

This skills calls down a bolt of lightning at the first attack and then imbues the player's weapon temporarily with lightning damage. The initial bolt of lightning can spread in a small AoE if the enemy is standing in water and having a weapon imbued with lightning will increase damage for a short time.

This is especially effective against enemies that are weak to lightning.
