Category:Thunder Spells

From FFXI Wiki

Thunder GUI.png Thunder Spells are the Black Magic lightning-based nukes. These spells receive the lowest damage boost of all the elements when adding additional INT. They are the most damaging, but least MP efficient, in the general magic damage hierarchy. These spells are often useful against water-based enemies and tend to be ineffective against lightning- or earth-based enemies.

Thunder spells can be enhanced with Lightning day/weather bonus, Lightning Staff bonus, Lightning Magic Attack Bonus, and Lightning Magic Affinity.

There are other ways to boost Day/Weather bonus that are not specific to the lightning element and thus are not included here.
