The Lightning Strike is a Dragon Cult incantation in Elden Ring. It is an early find in the Weeping Peninsula.
Lightning Strike is one of the incantations of the capital's ancient dragon cult, recalling the ancient dragons with scales of Gravel Stone who wielded lightning and are said to have once attacked Leyndell. It calls down an uneven line of lightning bolts ahead of the caster that can hit a target several times per cast, and it can be cast repeatedly. Hitting water or an enemy standing in it adds a small area blast that catches nearby foes. The strikes may look random, but their pattern is consistent, and learning it is the key to using the spell well. The Gravel Stone Seal and Death Knight set boost it, and it suits dragon cult faith builds that want a cheap repeatable lightning attack.
Effect
Calls down a line of lightning bolts that strike repeatedly ahead of the caster. Each cast costs 19 FP and 32 stamina and takes up one memory slot.
