Lightning Attack

Lightning Attack is a gem effect in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It adds an additional instance of electric to the user's s.

Overview
Dealing more auto-attack damage is universally good for tanks, as they would love to have the additional. Non-tanks are a bit less clear on the issue, as they'd rather spend their "aggro budget" on their arts instead. In either case, the additional damage can be further boosted by Electric Plus gems, though this is a bit much investment on someone who can't deal electric damage otherwise.

In the original version, Lightning Attack works against Mechon armour, dealing its full damage. In the Definitive Edition, it does not trigger at all.
