Lightning stance

Barbarian in the middle of activating Lightning Stance.

Lightning Stance is a Barbarian 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, his weapons attacks stun non-boss, non-ogre enemies, but he takes recoil damage by a percentage of his max health. The Barbarian's weapons shake uncontrollably and he, along with any stunned enemies, will emit light blue sparks over their bodies. Lightning resistance does NOT mitigate Lightning Stance's recoil damage.

Dungeon Defenders Redux[]

In Redux, Lightning Stance has been reworked completely. It now adds 50% lightning damage to the Barbarian's melee attacks (35% for Hawk Stance). Standard attacks shoot a lightning-elemental bolt with every swing. However, this stance costs 100 mana to activate and has a much longer cooldown.

Stat Scaling[]

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