Notes

• Lightning Bolt deals spell damage, and thus will trigger spell effects.
• Lightning Bolt is not considered a projectile.
• There is no cast time on Lightning Bolt and it will not interrupt previous orders while within range, but it will cause the user to turn toward the target when not compelled by other orders.
  • This counts for direction-facing effects such as Mocking Shout and Petrifying Gaze.

Trivia

• The Gunblade is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy franchise. the Hextech Gunblade most closely resembles the Lion Heart, Squall Leonhart's ultimate weapon in Final Fantasy VIII and Dissidia Final Fantasy, though the Hextech Gunblade has a larger and more greenish blade as opposed to the Lion Heart's blue. In an added FFVIII reference, the Hextech Revolver, which is needed to fuse the Hextech Gunblade, takes its name from Squall's initial weapon.
