Lightning strengths

Spammable skills
Good sustained damage
Useful mobility

What to watch for

It wins through rotation speed rather than one enormous hit, so keep casting instead of waiting for a single burst window.

How to develop Lightning

Use the book actively in combat instead of relying only on basic attacks. Like every grimoire described by the developer, Lightning gains ordinary book levels as you fight and unlocks new spells at levels 10 and 20. You keep the same book for both milestones.

Build a repeatable rotation around its strengths before judging a fresh result. More abilities can change how the kit handles groups, bosses and downtime. Use the leveling guide and calculator to plan those milestones.

Combat tier versus official availability

Tier A is a current community combat assessment, not a developer rating. The official description places Lightning in the “Growth” availability group but does not publish a verified roll percentage. Balance changes can move the combat tier without changing that official group.
