Thunder

Whenever you Evoke Lightning, deal 6 damage to each enemy hit.

Thunder is an uncommon Defect Power costing 1 Energy that deals 6 damage to each enemy hit whenever you Evoke Lightning. This bonus damage stacks on top of Lightning's natural Evoke damage, dramatically increasing the payoff for every Lightning Evoke trigger in combat.

Thunder amplifies every Lightning-related card: Ball Lightning and Zap channel Lightning for future Evokes, while Dualcast and Multi-Cast Evoke multiple times to trigger Thunder repeatedly. Electrodynamics makes Lightning hit ALL enemies, and Thunder's bonus damage applies to each one. Thunder Strike becomes even more devastating as the combat's Lightning count increases.

For the Defect, Thunder transforms Lightning from chip damage into a serious damage source. Against multi-enemy bosses like Ceremonial Beast, Thunder with Electrodynamics creates devastating AoE. Against single targets like Lagavulin Matriarch, focusing Lightning Evokes with Dualcast or Quadcast deals massive bonus damage. Pick Thunder alongside Lightning generation cards for a cohesive and powerful offensive strategy.
