Balethunder

Balethunder is a climate that appears in Inazuma.
Although Balethunder is represented with an Electro icon, the climate by itself never applies to the player or other targets. Targets will be affected by only from other sources, such as lightning.
==Overview==
In areas affected by Balethunder, the player will lose HP if not protected by an Electrogranum or Thunderwood. The player's peripheral vision will also be slightly reduced.
HP loss from Balethunder and the timer counting toward extended exposure will not pause while the player is engaged in dialogue with an NPC or an object.
===Locations===
The following locations are affected by Balethunder:
* Mt. Yougou (before completing Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual)
* Mikage Furnace (before completing Tatara Tales)
* Musoujin Gorge
* Underground area at the northeast of Kamisato Estate
* Amakumo Peak (before completing Seirai Stormchasers)
==HP Loss==
When in an area affected by Balethunder, if an Electrogranum or Thunderwood is not nearby, the player will lose 1% Max HP + 150 HP every 2 seconds.
After extended exposure to the Balethunder (about 30 damage ticks, or 60 seconds), the damage per tick will triple to 3% Max HP + 450 HP every 2 seconds. Shielding from the Balethunder with an Electrogranum or Thunderwood will reset the counter for extended exposure. Riding a Waverider will allow the player to avoid taking Balethunder damage, but the timer will still count toward extended exposure.
Some max HP thresholds and how long it takes for all HP to be depleted by Balethunder if extended exposure begins after 60 seconds:
* 60 seconds — 6,428 HP
* 70 seconds — 12,000 HP
* 80 seconds — 22,500 HP
* 90 seconds — 45,000 HP
* 96 seconds — 78,000 HP
