Storm
Dark sky and random lightning. Lightning gets stronger, the Sun gets weaker.
What happens
For 18 s lightning falls from the sky, about one bolt a second, on bridges and buildings picked at random, on both sides. Each one deals 30 damage, and it also breaks bridge planks. A Lightning Rod within 5.25 cells catches them and charges up. Pylons deal ×1.5 damage and jump to one more target. A Thunderstorm cast now has 3 more bolts. Mirrors and Shields work at half strength.
What to do
- A Lightning Rod near your most important bridges protects them from the sky’s lightning.
- If you have a Thunderstorm charged, this is the moment.
- Don’t count on Mirrors while it lasts.
