For those who are finding Lightning Spear hard to hit (i had trouble hitting Malenia with it) the other incantation from the prayer book, Honed Bolt, is an incredible alternative. Lower cost, comes down right on the enemy, and can be cast quickly in succession, skipping the cast sequence after the first bolt to instead call another one

Great guide as always. 👍 Not that you need to, but if you want to cheese Latenna, run into the arena and immediately head left up the stairs to the walled area. Go into to the corner by the wall and save the game as quick as you can. When you return, Latenna will be stationary so you can waste her while she just sits there. Be careful not to stagger her too much, but it's an easy way to get past her if you are struggling. This cheese has been around since the beginning and I can confirm it still works in 1.07.1.

Killing something twice without using Lightning seems a little out of sorts for the purpose of the guide, but I am doing something similar right now (used a Wretch instead of the Prophet though), and I found it WAY easier to kill that damn Leyndell Knight by simply using Poison Mist. Just sneak up behind him, apply it, then wait out the damage. When it stops, re-apply (should only require two castings to kill the knight). As a side note - it appears that the charged version of Lightning Strike DOES trigger the dodge animation of many enemies (though admittedly not all), whereas the standard casting does not seem to trigger that response.

During my very first playthrough, I started as dex/faith, and I wasn't enjoying it at the beginning. I disliked the incantations (aside from the dragon ones), they felt underwhelming. I mostly spammed Lighting Spear and Black Flame. So mid-game I switched to dex/int. I enjoyed it for a bit... until I started getting an abundance of amazing incantations. Among these were the lightning incantations, especially stuff like Lanseax's Glaive, Fortisax's Lightning Spear and Ancient Dragon's Lightning Strike. I'm a bit sad that these are very late-game. But I immediately switched out and used dex/faith with mostly lightning spells (and black flame ritual) until the end of the game. Sorry Ranni. I'll do dex/int run from scratch one day. Seems like both the sun and the moon were out for that Radahn fight. What an amazing change of scenery. I also believe that the moon sorceries (Rennala's Full Moon, Ranni's Dark Moon) don't trigger enemies to dodge, just like the lightning spear.
