Galestrike (Lightning Returns)

Galestrike is a physical ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It deals physical wind-elemental damage to a single target.
==Obtained==
A Galestrike Lv. 2 can be found in a treasure chest in the Giant's Sandbox of the Dead Dunes. 
It also has a chance of being dropped from the Dryad enemies on the northern regions of the Wildlands, having a 7.5% drop rate. The enemies drop different levels of the ability on the following days and difficulties:
Enemy	Lv. 1 	Lv. 2 	Lv. 3 	Lv. 4 	Lv. 5
Dryad	Day 1 - 6 (Easy/Normal)	Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal)	Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal)	Day 1 - 6 (Hard)	Day 7 - 13 (Hard)
==Mechanics==
Galestrike deals physical wind-elemental damage to a single foe. It has an ATB cost of 15, an attack power of 1.9, Multiplexer of 0.75, Stagger Power of C, Stagger Time of E, and a Combo of 5. When fully upgraded, Galestrike Lv.5 can have an ATB cost of 10, an attack power of 2.55, a Stagger Power of C, and a Stagger Time of E.
When under the effects of Enaero, Galestrike's damage and stagger power will increase a bit, while also gaining a small area of effect to hit nearby targets. The attack shares the same animation as the Aerora magic ability.
Fang uses Galestrike against opponents weak against wind when she is a party member.

;Normal
*Strength +180
*ATB Recovery +5

;Rare

==Use==
Galestrike can be especially useful against enemies weak to both physical and wind attribute attacks. When traveling through the Dead Dunes, players should always try to have Lightning equipped with the ability, due to many enemy stagger conditions involving wind-elemental attacks and interruptions. It is good against any foe susceptible to physical damage, and improves Lightning's stagger power when the enemy is weak to wind.
