### Special

When striking a mob or player,releases a lightning strike that damages several nearby enemies in a chain.

The **Lightning** is a petal in florr.io. When striking a mob or player, it releases a lightning strike that damages several nearby enemies in a chain. Struck enemies will be briefly stunned except Ultra+ mobs.

## Appearance

It looks like a small, 10-pointed light blue star.

## Function

*Note: The "A + B" respawn format means that the petal takes A seconds to respawn and B seconds after respawning to do its special action/have its special action enabled.*

Activates upon contact with enemy mobs or flowers. Can bounce to nearby enemies up to the indicated number of times by the bounce stat. All entities struck by it have their velocity set to 0 for an instant. If it attacks a player with a Magnet equipped, it will damage the magnet instead of them. When activated, Lightning petal breaks in 1 hit regardless of the enemies' actual body damage.

Does not activate on contact with projectiles such as hornet missiles.

## Drops

### Purchasing

On certain days, the petal can be purchased in the Shop.

*Note: the price depends on how much money is spent. This table shows the prices assuming the lowest and highest amounts of money that can be spent. Also, the stars awarded per ad change depending on the player's highest rarity petal. The table shows the lowest per ad (1) and the highest per ad (3). For more information, go to this page: Stars*

### Garden

* Less useful in Garden due to hornet missiles, but can easily handle both types of centipedes and large swarms of mobs, and hornets if they aren't aggroing you.
* Has effectively no defence so it must be paired with healing petals such as yucca or leaf.

### Desert

* Useful in dealing with swarms of beetles, scorpions and fire ant holes. One of the best petals to use in desert because there are no projectiles to worry about.
* Use with healing petals or ones with decent defensive potential like rose or light.
* Mythic lightning can be a huge help with fire ants, since title strikes 15 ants at once.

### Ocean

* Useful in dealing with large swarms of mobs. This petal can quickly damage a swarm of starfish enough to make them revert to their regen state and stop attacking you.
* Use with claws and magnets for maximum potential.
* Leeches take multiplied damage due to being multiple entities.

### PvP

#### Using

* Decent against players using Sticks or Eggs. Make sure you have defence and healing, as full lightning doesn’t provide much defense.
* Generally not advised to use it due to it being an AoE petal, not a single-target damage source.
* The lack of knockback prevents Rubber users from escaping.

#### Against

* Magnet will stop most of the lightning strikes.
* Salt will reflect some of the damage back.

## Trivia

* At one point. Lightning was proximity-activated and would strike several nearby enemies by itself without contact needed.
	+ Later it was changed to only activating when destroyed, even when hornet missiles and enemy flower’s petals hit it. Eventually this function was removed to only when hitting a mob or enemy flower.
* The petal used to have only 1 health, similarly to bubble, however it was changed to have health so it is stronger against a single enemy, and to compensate for the removal of activation when destroyed.
* Even though it is able to do damage, Lightning has no damage stat. The damage it does is caused by a special stat, named "Lightning". This means that Lightning cannot damage projectiles.
