Lightning damage overlay

Lightning Damage tends to be the most damaging element, both in terms of average and maximum damage. However, it often has very low minimum damage, making it unpredictable.

  • Damage of multiple types can be applied by the same attack, but only one damage overlay is displayed at a time: this means that lightning damage can still be applied even if the only overlay displayed is for fire, cold or poison damage.
  • It is not added to Smite.
