Lightning

**Lightning**? is a damage type. It deals +50% damage to  Shields? and -25% damage to  Health? and  Armor?. Every hit has a percentage chance to inflict  **Shock**?, which causes the affected target to take +10% damage from all hits for 5 seconds.

Inflicting  **Shock**? on an enemy affected by  Burning? inflicts  Manipulation?, which causes the enemy to attack other nearby enemies for 5 seconds, or stop attacking entirely if there are no other enemies nearby. Damage done to other enemies is very low. Elite enemies and bosses are immune to Manipulation.

Inflicting  **Shock**? on an enemy affected by  Decay? inflicts  Miasma?, which deals  True? damage equivalent to 9% of the enemy's maximum  Health? each second, lasting 5 seconds. Damage dealt drops to 0.75% maximum Health against elite enemies and 0.3% maximum Health against bosses. Damage will still hit  Shields? and  Armor? first, and is doubled when it does. Miasma can stack up to 9 times, each stack dealing its own damage. In Multiplayer, damage dealt divided by the number of players (9%, 4.5%, 3% and 2.25% against normal enemies, for example).

 Crown Prince can specifically increase Lightning damage with  Electrodominance.
