Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin · Infusion
Lightning infusion
Lightning infusion adds Lightning damage and scaling while reducing physical damage and Strength and Dexterity scaling.
How it works
Boltstone is the listed material. The upgrade passage gives previously uninfused, un-upgraded scalable weapons an initial C Lightning scaling grade and reports a 30.5% reduction to base Physical damage. Strength and Dexterity scaling decrease by one or two letter grades. The separate infusion description identifies Faith as the attribute associated with increased Lightning base attack rating and scaling.
