Holy Lightning Intro

Thunder is one of the basic elemental attributes found in the Castlevania series.

General information[]

This attribute covers all effects based on electricity, making it an attribute that is especially effective on water-based or metallic enemies. Thunder is, however, not very effective on plant creatures, electric-based creatures, and magic users like witches. Most of the time, thunder-based weapons and attacks can damage multiple times (e.g.: Fulgur and Vol Fulgur glyphs inflict multiple weak hits, or the Gungner, an electric spear which hits 2-3 times).

In certain games, thunder-based attacks can be used to power up electronic devices as part of a puzzle. In Dawn of Sorrow, electricity can be used to power up a searchlight in The Pinnacle and with it attract the Mothman; in Order of Ecclesia, glyphs from the "Fulgur" family can be used in a room with a couple of machines in the Mechanical Tower to open a panel and reveal the Morbus glyph behind.

In Grimoire of Souls, Lightning-based attacks have a chance to inflict the Shock status condition.

Trivia[]

  • This elemental damage type is most frequently called "Thunder" in games that comprise the Castlevania series. However, thunder is only the sound caused by lightning. A most proper way to call it would be "Lightning" or "Electricity", which only a few games do.
