You can unlock Lightning Throw from the "Abilities" menu. To find the same, follow these instructions:

• Launch Flashpoint: Worlds Collide and stay in the main game world.
• Click the Upgrades icon on the left side of the screen.
• Switch to the Abilities tab.
• Hit the Upgrade button for the Lightning Throw ability. It will cost six Skillpoints.

Skillpoints for unlocking the ability can be earned by leveling up. You get three Skillpoints per level up, which can be invested in ability upgrades as well as usual upgrades like Flashtime, Damage, Boost, and Speed.

When unlocked, PC players can use Lightning Throw by pressing and holding the "1" button. Roblox mobile players can activate it by holding the "Ability 1" button below Flashtime.

Lightning Throw can be used in tandem with Flashtime. This combo prevents you from being an easy target for the armed enemies, as well as gives you sufficient time to defeat them. However, the lightning ability must be used strategically since it goes into a cooldown after every application.

Why is Lightning Throw useful?

Besides upgrades, the Lightning Throw's damage is determined by its charge in Flashpoint: Worlds Collide. If you hold its associated key, a blue bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. The higher the bar, the more damage the bolt deals to the enemy.

Each impact from the ability also briefly stuns the enemy. This gives you sufficient time to punch down the metahumans and high-threat criminals such as those with rocket launchers and assault rifles.

Lightning Throw not only deals high damage but is also versatile. Besides activating it on the ground, you can use it while airborne and hurl thunder at enemies. The damage from the bolt remains the same but the impact area gets a bit wider.
