Lightning
Description
Lightning is a form of elemental damage in Dark Souls 2 that is influenced by the player's Faith stat.
Notes:
- All players are given a base stat of 100 lightning defense.
- The max elemental defense a character can have is 1000, which makes them immune to that element. (With a patch update, you are no longer able to obtain immunity from a stat other than curse)
- Please add any information regarding lightning at all. This includes damage, resistances, gear, etc…
