What Does Lightning Do?
Lightning is a spell that identifies the 3 enemy troops with the highest hitpoints inside its radius and strikes each one with heavy damage and a brief stun that resets their attack timer. It can hit both ground and air targets, and buildings as well.
Because it always targets the tankiest troops rather than random or nearest ones, it's especially punishing against decks built around a few high-value cards standing near each other.
Where Lightning Fits
It's a heavy-hitting answer to tanky pushes and support troops alike, often used to swing a defense decisively by hitting a tank, a support card, and a tower all in one cast.
How to Counter Lightning
Keeping high-value troops spread out, or limiting how many strong cards are on the field at the same time, reduces how much value a single Lightning cast can extract.

How does Lightning choose its targets?

What counters Lightning?
Spreading high-value troops apart, or keeping fewer than 3 valuable troops on the field at once, limits how much Lightning can hit in a single cast.
