Lightning Stance is a Barbarian stance ability unlocked at level 20. It costs 15 mana to activate and continues to drain mana at an increasing rate over time.

Upon activation, a lightning bolt strikes the Barbarian. While active, all of his melee damage is converted to lightning, but the total amount of damage dealt is reduced.

Dungeon Defenders Redux

In Redux, Lightning Stance causes the Barbarian's standard melee swings to shoot a lighting-elemental bolt that deals 50% lightning damage. If Hawk Stance is the next stance used, 35% lightning damage will be added to each weapon. However, Lightning Stance costs 100 mana to activate and has a longer cooldown.

Scaling

*In Redux, Defense Range only slows the rate Lightning Stance's mana upkeep cost rises.
