Get hit by lightning
More actions
"Get hit by lightning" is a Trial that awards points for taking damage from lightning strikes during the Electromagnetic Storm Major Map Condition.
Details
Points are earned when a lightning strike damages health. Damage Reduction (DR) from Shields reduces the amount of health lost, lowering the points earned from each strike.
Every point of health lost earns 30 points.
| Shield Type | Damage Reduction | Points |
|---|---|---|
| None | 0% | 1,800 |
 |
40% | 1,080 |
 |
42.5% | 1,020 |
 |
52.5% | 840 |
Special Note: For Light Shields, you receive 40% fewer points for a direct hit vs no shield because of the shield's 40% DR. Medium and Heavy Shields, however, you receive slightly fewer points than their DR percentage should give. For example, taking a direct hit with the Medium Shield would reduce the Raider's health by 34.5HP. When the Trials score is calculated, it is rounded down to 34 damage before being multiplied by the 30 points per damage, giving you 1,020 points instead of the 1,035 points as expected with a 42.5% Damage Reduction.

Tips
Make sure you are directly in the center of the strike as being on the edge of a strike will damage you less and thus earn you less points per strike.
Do not wear a shield. You earn points based on the amount of HP damage you take, and since shields reduce the damage you take, it means you'll earn less points per strike as well. Plus, you'd have to recharge the shield after every strike and swap out shields when they eventually break.
You take 60 damage from a lightning strike. Make sure you heal up quickly after the strike as a second strike will otherwise knock you down.
Keep a distance between yourself and other Raiders. If you are too close, two lightning strikes could land on the same spot, knocking you down instantly.
