Tips

Press the confirm button the exact split-second the screen flashes white to successfully dodge a lightning bolt.
Equip armor with Lightning Ward or Lightning Proof to significantly cut down magic damage taken in regular encounters.
Equip gear with the No Encounters ability when attempting the 200 consecutive lightning dodges to prevent random battles from breaking your streak.
A small crater near a lightning tower in the southern plains triggers lightning strikes consistently every time you step into it, making rhythm timing easier for dodging.
