Nidhögg the Thundering

The power of lightning dances along the blade of this sword, a promise of the pain to come.

Nidhögg the Thundering is a one-handed sword made at the Black Forge by fitting an Iolite to a Nidhögg and alongside 6 Flametal. It deals 135 slash plus 10 lightning, blocks for 57 and has 300 durability, and every hit carries a 25% chance of triggering chain lightning. The primary is a three-swing chain with double damage on the last hit at 16 stamina a swing; the secondary is a lunging thrust for triple damage at 28. Only the slash scales on upgrade, at 6 a level to 153 at quality 4, and the conversion resets the sword to quality 1.
