'''Lightning Slash''' is a recurring skill in the series. Contrary to its name, it powers up an attack with the might of a colossal explosion rather than a bolt of electricity. However in the ''Monsters'' series of games, it shares an element with the [[Zap]] family of spells.

Lightning Slash deals variable melee damage, with the power being dependent on the target's resistance to the [[bang]] element. Possible modifiers are 130%, 115%, 75%, and 30%. It is learned by advancing to rank 3 of the [[Armamentalist]] vocation.
