Lightning Basic Information

Lightning is the main character from Final Fantasy XIII. As a Vision, she specializes in physical attacks that deal Ice and Lightning damage. Her abilities focus on building stagger, with bonuses that increase stagger power and reward consecutive attacks.

She can also imbue her physical attacks with Lightning, inflict Paralysis, and restore HP by absorbing Lightning damage once she reaches Mastery Rank 9.

How to Get Lightning

Lightning is found at the Sanctum of Lightning in the southern part of Mysidia, the Uncharted Land. You can reach the area in Chapter 5 after obtaining the airship.

Alternatively, follow the southern path from the Magiapolis toward the coast, then head east along the shoreline. You will pass the Sanctum before needing to circle back to reach it. If you have the airship, you can fly directly to the Sanctum.

Interact with the crystal and answer its three questions. Your answers do not affect whether you receive Lightning.
