Lightning Strike FAQ
How do you get Lightning Strike in Valheim?
Lightning Strike is crafted at Galdr Table from Bloodgold x10, Nornathread x5, Thunderblood Essence x1, Bloodgold x1.
What are the stats of Lightning Strike in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Lightning Strike reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.
How much damage does Lightning Strike block?
Lightning Strike blocks 48, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 2. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.
Does Lightning Strike slow you down?
Lightning Strike changes your movement speed by -5%. Valheim adds that figure up across everything equipped — both hands, all four armour slots, the utility slot and the trinket — so a heavy set with a shield reaches a number you can feel, and it applies to the stamina that running and jumping drain as well as to speed.
How much durability does Lightning Strike have?
Lightning Strike has 400–550 durability, and can be repaired for free at a crafting station that covers it — repairing costs nothing but the trip, so there is never a reason to carry a worn one home.
Is Lightning Strike worth upgrading in Valheim?
It upgrades to quality 4, and the table above lists every level with its own numbers and the exact materials that level costs, so you can see what the next step actually buys before you spend on it.
