'''Lightning''' is an ability in the {{DQSeries}}. Unless otherwise stated, it pulls down bolts from the sky for 50~70 damage for no {{MP}} cost, and is typically learned by bruiser types rather than casters.

==={{DQ4}}===

Lightning is an enemy-only skill that is used by the [[demon thunderer]]s in the remakes of {{IV}}, dealing 35~45 blast damage to the entire {{Party 4}}.

==={{DQ5}}===

Lightning is learned by several monster companions such as the [[old man of the sea]] and [[bomboulder]]. In the {{Super Famicom}} version, the skill dealt [[Zap]] damage, but in all other versions is uses the [[Bang]] element.

|{{Bomboulder R}}||20

|{{Golem R}}||45

|{{Old man of the sea R}}||45

[[Wyrtoise]]s and [[Bjørn the Behemoose]] use it as enemies.

 

==={{DQ6}}===

Lightning is learned by advancing to rank 3 of the {{Luminary V}} vocation. Despite all appearances, the skill belongs to the [[Bang]] family of spells much like the [[Lightning Slash]]. In the {{Super Famicom}} version, Lightning can also be learned by the {{Lesser demon R}} at level 15.

 

It is used by the enemies [[hellstalker]]s, [[crayzee]]s, the [[Third Test]], the [[gallows giant]]s, and [[Murdaw]] in the third fight against him.

==={{DQ7}}===

In the original [[Sony PlayStation]] version, Lightning is a hybrid skill that can be learned by advancing to rank 5 as a [[Mage]] or [[Sailor]] immediately after completing the other. It can also be learned by mastering the [[Serial quiller (vocation)|Serial quiller]] vocation.

*Lightning was nerfed in the {{3DS}} version, with a new range of 30~50. In the {{3DS}} version, hybrid skills no longer exist and Lightning is learned normally by mastering the [[Sailor]] vocation.

It can be used by the enemies [[electroslime]]s, [[natural born quiller]]s, [[monarchaeopteryx]]es, [[beastly priest]]s, [[demon thunderer]]s, [[hellstalker]]s, and [[Orgodemir]]'s first form on Disc 1.

==={{DQ8}}===

An enemy-only skill, Lightning deals 28~36 damage. It can be used by [[Phantom swordsman|phantom swordsmen]], [[demon thunderer]]s, [[hellstalker]]s, and [[Juggerwroth]].

 

 

==={{DQ9}}===

Lightning grew weaker in {{IX}}, dealing only 17~26 damage. It can be used by [[cumulus rex]]es, [[wyrtoise]]s, and the [[Master of Nu'un]]. Stronger variants debuted, however, as linked below.

 

 

Lightning requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 10 with 65 {{HP}}, 90 {{Attack}} and 52 {{Agility}}. It is naturally learned by the [[Balzack|Balzak]], [[Nokturnus|Darkdrium]], [[Metal king slime|MetalKing]], [[Nimzo|Mirudraas]], [[Will-o'-the-whips|NiteWhip]], [[RotRaven]], [[Cyber slime|SlimeBorg]], [[Wyrtle|Tortragon]], [[Wight king (Dragon Quest V)|WhiteKing]] and [[Thunderbird|ZapBird]]. If a {{MFamilies}} knows both Lightning and [[Kazap|Thordain]], they can learn [[Lightning Storm|HellBlast]].

The requirements to learn Lightning are unchanged. It is naturally learned by the [[Dangler fish|Angleron]], [[Conkuistador|FooHero]], [[Neo Dragonlord|LordDraco]], [[Poseidon]] and [[Dierantula|Skularach]].

==={{DQMJ}}===

Lightning deals 100～120 damage for 10 {{MP}}, and can be learned with 60 points in [[Wulfspade (Skill)|Wulfspade]].

==={{DQMJ2}}===

Lightning can still be learned from [[Wulfspade (Skill)|Wulfspade]], as well as from [[Über Zapologist]] for 12 points. It also now deals a combination of [[Zap]] and [[Sizz]]-element damage.
