Lightning damage can often cause more damage because comparatively few armor sets provide high resistance against it.

Lightning Damage Trivia & Notes
- In contrast to Lighting Urn description, there are knights resistant to lightning.
- In line with Lighting Urn description, all dragons are weak to Lightning.
- Lightning seems to be effective againsts bosses using sword/axe/halberd/scythe/vessel (excluding Dragonslayer Armour and Nameless King, as they attack mainly with Lightning) and enemies with no armor.
AnonymousI used to have a yellowy color on my Dragonslater Greataxe's L2 but now it's a white color with a little bit of blue stripes here and there, anyone knows why ? (just curious cause the yellow lighting looks a lot better in my opinion)

I am pretty sure there is something that multiplies lightning damage the closer you are to your target, but I don’t have a ton of evidence

Silver knights also deal lightning damage when they rush at you. Add that, please.

There is an item that increases lightning further that is not listed here. This is the Ariandel Whip’s weapon art: Awakening. It increases miracle spell damage by 25% which is a pretty massive boost to be left out of the “lightning boost items” section of this page.

It seems no one has written anything about this, so here goes. I just discovered while PvPing in the Anor Londo Water Reserve that my Lightning Urns left a medium sized lingering AoE upon impact with the water. Makes sense that water conducts lightning, so I experimented a little. It seems that any lightning based projectile will leave the same lingering AoE upon contact with a surface submerged in water, including lightning miracles and Dragonslayer Lightning Arrows. The 2 things I've seen that don't leave the AoE are the Lightning Storm miracle and the WA of the Nameless King's Dragonslayer Swordspear. I'm guessing Lightning Storm isn't a projectile, doesn't touch the ground, or is already considered an AoE because Lightning Stake has the AoE, and that the WA doesn't count as a projectile, because Ornstein's Dragonslayer Spear WA does leave the AoE.
I haven't tested anything with the Knight's Crossbow yet, but imagine Gael's Repeating Crossbow with Lightning Bolts... I can smell the salt already.

It should be worth noting that spells like Iron Flesh drastically reduce your lightning resistance.
