Ramuh's Judgement Bolt attack inflicts Thunder-elemental damage to all enemies. It can be used by Dagger. Like most summons, Judgement Bolt has two versions: long version and short version, with the long version being stronger. With the support ability Boost, the player can always summon the long version unless it is a counterattack as part of Dagger's Trance.
Judgement Bolt is likely the first summon attack Dagger will use. Its damage can be boosted by having more Peridots in stock (see here for damage formulae). Judgment Bolt can be made to deal 50% more damage by equipping Dagger with Flash Hat or Extension. Equipping both at once does not stack.

Like most Primal ultimate attacks, the player party is required to defeat additional enemies to prevent an automatic defeat.

However, should the player party fail to defeat all the Gray Arbiters, Judgment Bolt will instantly kill the party.
