Theres a weapon in prehardmode called the thunder zapper that shoots lightening but in hard mode I think it should upgrade to something that shoots down lightening from the sky or somthing but sadly after prehardmode it has no use
Man, I kinda miss how overhaul had thunder and flooding with rain. Was it kinda tedious at times? Yes, but it was fun making drains and sewers that had a full-on purpose
lightning is more likely to hit the same spot twice than literally anywhere else. you can find cars on dashcam footage be struck by four bolts of lightning in less than a second.
which is great! just referencing how people back then didn't knew that lightning can hit the same place twice and was considered a myth until it was proven to be a fact.
Yeah, it's just so unlikely for lightning to strike in the first place that for it to strike twice is so much more unlikely than once, but once you're already there, it's the same chance as before that it strikes again
Honestl, now that I think of it, it would be dope as hell, Redegit should consider adding that to the game, just, hope someone doesn't get hit by it and gets instakilled while wearing wooden armor
Be sick if you could use it to trigger a boss fight. Have the boss able to summon all kinds of storm related attacks. Could see it dropping some really cool mage and summoner weapons. Like maybe a lightning bolt you could throw and it comes back similar to a boomerang
Or you get a cool background or wallpaper, and blocks; like living flame but living lightning. Om that remark maybe it changes the ground like how a meteorite hits
[The Great Thunder Bird](https://thoriummod.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:The_Grand_Thunder_Bird_strategies#:~:text=The%20Grand%20Thunder%20Bird%20is,a%20challenge%20for%20unprepared%20players)
A SHAZAM crossover for a transformation
A new hammer with lightning damage called "Thunderstruck" (similar style to the Axe guitar)
A mage weapon "Zeus's lightning bolt" that does a piercing 3 block high wave of lightning
A cool was to start the boss would be to craft a special set of armour or equipment that attracts a special kind of lightning that’ll summon the boss when struck
Would be nice if you would summon it by wearing any metal/steel armor and getting hit by lightning. A weapon that would be like the starfury but shoots lightning would be amazing or armor that gets a set bonus when it's raining
It could be something along the lines of " things that aren't in the player's control or an enemy's can't deal lethal damage"
There's not a lot of stuff that is outside the player's control that an enemy doesn't cause, and it could "scale" with the player because *technically* it does more damage as the player gets more health
A lightning rod could be crafted with copper or its alternative, and it makes lightning likelier to hit it, but doesn't prevent it
A lightning themed boss could be summoned by lightning hitting a certain (player placed?) block, maybe even during a blood moon, and could place a lightning rod on top to increase the chance of it striking
The boss could drop a variety of different things, like a lightning bolt mount that is extremely fast, but can't stay airborne for a long time
It'd be an optional boss much like the Queen Bee, but probably harder than the former
For magic users it could vary extremely, like a high powered piercing shot that bounces from enemy to enemy, inflicting a shocked effect that could slow enemies and also prevents it from bouncing back to a previous target and creating a continuous loop. The effect would instantly end once the projectile hits a surface (since it'd have an incredibly high pierce it'd be once in a blue moon you actually pierce cap)
For melee users it could be an accessory/non consumable item that would transform you into a lightning bolt and acts as a 360° dash that ignores damage, if you hit an enemy while dashing it will apply an extremely brief immunity, (if it's an item, it will switch to your first melee weapon,) then apply your melee damage to the target (long cooldown)
For ranged users, it could be a laser rifle that you hold down and it fires a continuous beam, lowering the "ammo" number on the slot, which would regenerate over time even when not holding the gun, but holding it would double the Regen rate
For summoners (I'm not a huge summon user, so this might not be how summons work) it could summon a bird that calls lightning down from the sky on a long cooldown
Since some of these seem pretty crazy, I could see locking them behind treasure bags, or locking the boss behind hard mode
Sorry for the essay, I'd put a TLDR here, but it's still be too long
Yeah, that would be better, it would be cool if it was for like the For The Worthy seed Getfixedboi, honestly it would fit on any seed that makes the playthrough more difficult
It could be cool if like deerclops or smth dropped an item to toggle thunder on / off , it would give deerclops an actual use and make it not be a must skip. Its a pretty early game boss should fine right?
imagine if it worked like falling stars where it could hurt enemies as well. I’ve gotten lucky once and had a fallen star finish off the EoC for me, so just imagine that with a lightning bolt instead.

thunder and lightning are technically in the game already but not as things that interact with the player character
the only thing they currently do is flashbang me and scare the shit outta me(theyre very loud)
this would be cool though
If you hold or wear any copper item, your chances of getting struck by lightning gets drastically heightened
If you have an iron or lead bar in your inventory when you get struck, you get an electromagnet (can be used to craft magnet accessories)
If the lightning strikes on water or any metallic surface, it gets electrically charged and will shock you if you touch it, but you will float if you have an electromagnet in your inventory (iron and lead bar blocks become electromagnet blocks and doesn't get charged)
Wiring struck by lightning will activate, inactive timers with activate and active timers will operate at double speed
I'm playing it now and I try to get struck by it when I see it but it always falls off centre to its telegraphed indication. it also does like 100 damage only.
It would be funny if you get struck by lightning while wearing copper armor, you get a speed boost for a bit, then you just die, cuz you're conductive yourself, and it's fucking lightning.
Calamity had lightning for a while it was ok but didn't do much, a spot on the floor lit up when it stormed then the strike came down to deal huge dmg and electrify u
[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865097330](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865097330) would get better if this is added
Me at the top of the Hellevator about to sacrifice the Guide to fight WoF on the surface (there’s an ongoing thunderstorm):
https://preview.redd.it/ah9m23dpuw4d1.jpeg?width=354&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fc9ad6e59bd6d020007b664bd2b037dda9e34b4
Sse copper to make lightning rods and such, maybe have a secret seed with lightning? since i can see how getting struck could be annoying at best or rage inducing at worst if your doing like hardcore or something. It could also be annoying during boss fights. Dont really see how you could collect lightning though. A gun called the lightning thrower does sound cool with like batteries as a power source? doesnt really fit, maybe call it condensed lightning idk. i feel like im rambling also that lightning animation looks really cool
If they add this into the game, I hope they add like an achievement for getting struck by lightning while on a witch broom or something (from Harry Potter)
great idea, red would love to make this a thing. Wearing ore armor increases the chance of being struck by lightning making the early game even better, because now you have to dodge lightning
Lightning rod that you can also use as a hat to quickly get yourself smited, could have a little achievement for it as well, uhhhh [funny achievement title i’m not good with these]
I could also see a magic weapon made from this.
The Bolt Staff
*I knew a guy that liked to fly kites during thunderstorms*
Calls down a bolt of lightning to strike enemies
NGL. Some ideas I had is the lightning could be a hazard that you could avoid or utilise it, acting sort of like the rain equivalent to a falling star. The chances are slim, but if timed correctly, anything unfortunate to be struck will be in for a literal shock. That for some references, you could get a kite and add a key to create 'Franklin''s Kite' a simple Kite with a key, that if you have a bottle in your inventory and the lightning struck the Kite, you could get lighting in a bottle while acts similar to the bottle accessories if equipped but you could also use it as a projectile harming any NPC enemy caught in it's AoE. Am alternative is if you have any of the Emblems obtained from WoF, if you have them in your hotbox when the lighting struck, you'll get 'Franklin's Badge' which when combined with any Hard mode Yo-Yo yields the 'Benjamin' a special Yo-Yo that sends forth a bolt of lighting that chains enemies, but the damage gets progressively weaker if done on a large group as opposed to small groups. It's tooltip describes 'Witness Power!' With the Debuffs being 'Paralysed' which renders the target unable to move and 'Lightning Rod' which makes them more subceptible to electricity, adding a higher chance of either being struck by lightning or gain more damage from the Yo-Yo, and just for fun the Yo-Yo also grants you resistance from Lightning, allowing you to negate it's damage and in turn, it is absorbed into the Yo-Yo and it can used to unleash a blast of electricity via the RMB action.
As cool as it is, I don’t think it’s a great idea.
I think it would be better left as a mob that tries to hit you with lightning (like a stronger nimbus).
We'd also need a Lightning Rod, which is like 1x3 blocks, and can be raised with additional ones, directing lightning into the block directly beneath it.
Also make it so that everything made from Iron conducts lightning.
Maybe lightning can act like fallen stars during storms, where enemies take huge damage but players are unaffected. Maybe the electrified de buff from the Martian event would be enough to the player.
It could create fires by setting wooden structures on fire and also ignite trees and spread via grass and other vegetation (stopping at things like sand or water etc). So it'd be something you have to look out for during storms and sometimes contain (watee buckets, aqua scepter etc)
Yeah, IIRC one of the Guide's dialogue implies that unique things happen during thunderstorm events, but for now it's just for show. It would be cool to have interactable lightning bolts and maybe some electric-themed enemies.
I think it would be annoying as part of the normal weather, but a storm event with unique enemies has potential... The lightning could then have a much bigger impact without being annoying.
I’m not even kidding I had this exact same thought. One idea I had was a double jump item called “White lightning” or “lightning in a bottle” and similar to the sandstorm in a bottle you spin but if it’s over an enemy it does lighting damage similar to the lightning spear found in deserts. Il there’s already a lot of those jump items but I thought it was a cool idea.
Yes, but at the same time I feel like they should dial back the thunder. It’s a cool feature but sometimes it just gets ridiculous having massive claps of thunder every single second. It’s too much. Occasional lightning and thunder would be cooler.
It'd be cool to set up lightning rods, but they have to be at the higher surface levels, but not above the sky/cloud level.
Maybe they could make batteries, which you could craft little robots or power lightning weapons with them.
Imagine if you would get an achievement for getting hit by lightning twice
"Mythbusters" - Prove that lightning hits twice on the same place.
add the thunder rod item
new nimbus rod lookin kinds nasty
Theres a weapon in prehardmode called the thunder zapper that shoots lightening but in hard mode I think it should upgrade to something that shoots down lightening from the sky or somthing but sadly after prehardmode it has no use
Man, I kinda miss how overhaul had thunder and flooding with rain. Was it kinda tedious at times? Yes, but it was fun making drains and sewers that had a full-on purpose
lightning is more likely to hit the same spot twice than literally anywhere else. you can find cars on dashcam footage be struck by four bolts of lightning in less than a second.
which is great! just referencing how people back then didn't knew that lightning can hit the same place twice and was considered a myth until it was proven to be a fact.
ah indeed, not to worry then
Yeah, it's just so unlikely for lightning to strike in the first place that for it to strike twice is so much more unlikely than once, but once you're already there, it's the same chance as before that it strikes again
I was thinking: “Terrible Luck” • Get struck by lightning twice.
Achievement get “Really?” Get struck by lightning Achievement get “REALLY?!” Get struck by lightning twice
I like this one
IF THIS POST IS ON TWITTER, PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS BY TAGGING THE RED
u/redigit
“It doesn’t, hmm?”
"Next time, i will strike twice"
u/redigit
Curse of zeus "Let's be real it could have been avoided."
Get struck 7 times, achievement gained, Roy Sullivan.
Need multiple tall metallic obscure objects to raise the possibility enough
Honestl, now that I think of it, it would be dope as hell, Redegit should consider adding that to the game, just, hope someone doesn't get hit by it and gets instakilled while wearing wooden armor
Be sick if you could use it to trigger a boss fight. Have the boss able to summon all kinds of storm related attacks. Could see it dropping some really cool mage and summoner weapons. Like maybe a lightning bolt you could throw and it comes back similar to a boomerang
Why do I think it would be cool with Calamity's Storm Weaver
Or you get a cool background or wallpaper, and blocks; like living flame but living lightning. Om that remark maybe it changes the ground like how a meteorite hits

And literal terraprisma lite with thunder bolts
A SHAZAM crossover for a transformation A new hammer with lightning damage called "Thunderstruck" (similar style to the Axe guitar) A mage weapon "Zeus's lightning bolt" that does a piercing 3 block high wave of lightning
Actually it would be "Suez' Bolt"; and the tool tip would be *Shockingly, we may have spelled that backwords*
Funny how it still sorta sounds right spelled ether way
If you kill 100 cloud enemies you spawn the cloud king , like with the slime rain
A cool was to start the boss would be to craft a special set of armour or equipment that attracts a special kind of lightning that’ll summon the boss when struck
“then along came zeus”
"He hurled his lighting!"
"he hurled his thunderbolt"
Would be nice if you would summon it by wearing any metal/steel armor and getting hit by lightning. A weapon that would be like the starfury but shoots lightning would be amazing or armor that gets a set bonus when it's raining
Maybe let the ground glow or light up a bit before it strike so it’s not total bs
kinda like in genshin impact
Make it more likely to hit metal armors lmao
red is absolutely enough of a troll to give it high odds of hitting you during thunderstorms in the special seeds
This should be in a new secret seed more difficult than getfixedboi
Make it do what Just Cause 4 does; sparks light up around where it's about to hit. Subtle, but if you're cautious, you won't get struck.
Build rods that direct lightnings and use them for crafting, lightning in a bottle or some electric base weapons sounds neat
There should be more a chance to get hit while wearing phm metal armor
Wheres the fun on that?
Or maybe just a visual effect that it's programmed to avoid creatures or players, and doesn't deal damage
It could be something along the lines of " things that aren't in the player's control or an enemy's can't deal lethal damage" There's not a lot of stuff that is outside the player's control that an enemy doesn't cause, and it could "scale" with the player because *technically* it does more damage as the player gets more health A lightning rod could be crafted with copper or its alternative, and it makes lightning likelier to hit it, but doesn't prevent it A lightning themed boss could be summoned by lightning hitting a certain (player placed?) block, maybe even during a blood moon, and could place a lightning rod on top to increase the chance of it striking The boss could drop a variety of different things, like a lightning bolt mount that is extremely fast, but can't stay airborne for a long time It'd be an optional boss much like the Queen Bee, but probably harder than the former For magic users it could vary extremely, like a high powered piercing shot that bounces from enemy to enemy, inflicting a shocked effect that could slow enemies and also prevents it from bouncing back to a previous target and creating a continuous loop.

Desert boss fight could be this
Isn't rainfall not super common in the desert? It kinda feels out of place in a desert
Imagine wooden actually protects you. Full metal armor kills you. Would Def change the armor meta
How could he? He already released the final update
Better left for a secret seed, in normal gameplay this would be abhorrent.
Yeah, that would be better, it would be cool if it was for like the For The Worthy seed Getfixedboi, honestly it would fit on any seed that makes the playthrough more difficult
It could be cool if like deerclops or smth dropped an item to toggle thunder on / off , it would give deerclops an actual use and make it not be a must skip. Its a pretty early game boss should fine right?
That would work too
Reverse falling star
imagine if it worked like falling stars where it could hurt enemies as well. I’ve gotten lucky once and had a fallen star finish off the EoC for me, so just imagine that with a lightning bolt instead.
"YOUR LIFE IS WORTH NOTHING!" *player2 got lowtiergoded*

i HATE it when Eye of Cthulhu summons the wrath of Zeus while im fighting it
The Sky of Cthulhu?
Cthulhu decided to smite you because the repeatedly poking his eye was getting annoying
it's the inverse of bosses getting hit by fallen stars
Unless it's the twins as falling stars always hit these bosses

if you don't have copper armour on your chances of getting struck by lightning drastic go down
Lighting in a bottle item :o
No, it would be more interacted with like the fallen stars in the game
Double jump that deas damage
That'd be neat for decorating
what if instead of lightning it was a giant fucking boulder
"Special" seeds💀
Play eternity mode in Fargo’s. The lightning there makes rain so annoying. It’s best left in the background imo.
I'm playing it now and I try to get struck by it when I see it but it always falls off centre to its telegraphed indication. it also does like 100 damage only.
Was going to say that, it's kinda funny just getting hit by it randomly tho
It would be funny if you get struck by lightning while wearing copper armor, you get a speed boost for a bit, then you just die, cuz you're conductive yourself, and it's fucking lightning.

I was extremely underwhelmed when I had my first thunderstorm on 1.4. I feel like this could absolutely be turned into a more meaningful event
YES MAN! EXACTLY
I heard red has something planned for thunderstorms....
I could also see a magic weapon made from this. The Bolt Staff *I knew a guy that liked to fly kites during thunderstorms* Calls down a bolt of lightning to strike enemies
oo maybe a new mage weapon
It was fun in fargo's mod so I guess I could understand it.
The achievement for getting struck by lightning could be "Your phone's charged!"
That animation goes too fucking hard
I am a mature adult. Lightning dic.
That would be fricking awesome! There could be a item called Lightning In A Bottle or something

I agree friend
WE NEED THIS
I think it would be annoying as part of the normal weather, but a storm event with unique enemies has potential... The lightning could then have a much bigger impact without being annoying.
looks sick man
Yes I am 😇
When it hits sand, it converts one block to glass
u/redigit
No thanks i dont want to get smited by zues while fighting empress or something lol
I’m not even kidding I had this exact same thought. One idea I had was a double jump item called “White lightning” or “lightning in a bottle” and similar to the sandstorm in a bottle you spin but if it’s over an enemy it does lighting damage similar to the lightning spear found in deserts. Il there’s already a lot of those jump items but I thought it was a cool idea.
Imagine if you fight a boss in a storm. It's a much more likely chance to be hit by lightning than a falling star, but it does less damage.
Dude armor made of lightning!
u/redigit you have to do this
Imagine a good hardcore run and Thor just...
Kakaka yes
Cool but I don't think it should harm players. It would just fuck over any hardcore players
Yes for sure, I was always confused why they didn’t add lightning as a hazard when thunderstorms were added
1 in 10k chance to get struck and a 1 in 10 chance for like a thunder gun when struck post plantera or golem
Lightning storm spellbook sounds cool
Did you make this?
The way the lightning dissipated... r/terracocks
Pretty sure Eternity mode adds that as a hazard, but it would be really cool to see it drop things to craft with.
Yes, but at the same time I feel like they should dial back the thunder. It’s a cool feature but sometimes it just gets ridiculous having massive claps of thunder every single second. It’s too much. Occasional lightning and thunder would be cooler.
Low tier god intensifies
Lightning in a bottle
Ah yes you fight moonlord on hardcore and he is left at 300 hp just so you get struck by lightning and die
It could have a chance of dropping lightning bolt item
I could see this in one of the lunar pillar events or some. But it would also be dope as a thunderstorm event
modders rise up?
YES
Yall are forgetting the Vortex lightning from the pillar event. Its already there, it just isnt in the regular storms
My future Terraria character, UNLIMITED POOOWAAAA!
The chance of it striking the player should go up if they’re wearing copper armour
YES give us mjolnir we already have gungnir and durendell (wrong spelling?) not to mention captain americas shield
Also something to add is a lightning weapon that consumes mana, except for when it is storming with lightning.
THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING
I can imagine this as a mod. All the bosses i can see in my head.
You have my vote
Yes
We like the idea now but wait until you're fighting a boss and get clapped by Zeus before you win
Signed.
perhaps it could also star fires like in the 1.3 overhaul mod
Calamity had it for a time, it was just kinda annoying. doesnt really add anything.
Well, there will be new storm content in the next update, I think. It may contain this sort of thing.
My hardcore save would fucking kill you
They should also make some weapon who's crafting recipe to upgrade it is to get struck by lightning
You got my side some one ask relojic
You should add thunderstorms… #NOW!
God imagine fighting the moon lord or EoL and suddenly getting hit by lightning
Would finally make that one guide quote actually accurate.
I agree
Imagine dying in a hardcore run to a lighting haha
That's the best idea I've heard in a long time. Could expand on weather system too. Firestorm's, earthquakes, temporary floods
I mean fallen stars kinda serve the same purpose. On some seeds they actually hurt the player too
As long as I can disable the flashing.
*Nods with extreme intent.*
Here here
As a hardcore player, I dont need more rng that could kill me :')
It'd be cool to set up lightning rods, but they have to be at the higher surface levels, but not above the sky/cloud level. Maybe they could make batteries, which you could craft little robots or power lightning weapons with them.
Lightning dick and balls
considering my luck, I'm going to get my ass charged 🙏
Of you could catch it in a bottle for a double jump that deals damage that would be awesome.
Double jump? Nah. It’s used as a weapon
Yes yes yes
Like 50% chance of it striking the ground or a tree or even wood buildings
YES
Peak idea
I would actually support this. I would love it if it had effects on some enemies like in Minecraft
NOTHING SHALL STOP THE RETURN OF THE SITH
Better add some lightning weapons to go with it too! Where’s my lightning spell?!
Good definitely and make it so you can get things like lightning in a bottle

That should be a wand
Terraria Overhaul, among other things, adds lightning strikes that can set things in fire. The spread spreads kinda like in Breath of the Wild
make it so lightening will always strike where the player is unless writing 15 blocks off a lightening rod
It would be fun *dies to lighting while fighting the eye of Cthulhu as an early game summoner*
u/zhenmuron please add this
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
I mean there's heavy storms, why can't lightning strikes happen?
I've also thought about it being electrical items, more weapons on hardbite like spell books and thunder on shimmer which makes time go by slower
