Editing Lightning Arc

The Lightning Arc, like [[Lightning Gun|every god-damned]] [[Lightning Cannon|forsaken weapon]] with the word [[Pretend|'lightning']] in its name, is actually not a lightning weapon. So that means it has no relations with [[Tesla|Tesla Weapons]] nor [[Arc Weaponry]].

Rather, it is a weapon that stores solar energy before it is released as a wave of [[Wat|living energy tendrils which envelop targets, probing for any points of weakness.]] Yes, I know, that sounds dangerously close to a [[C'Tan]], but it functions similarly to an [[Plasma#AEonic Orb|AEonic Orb]] insofar as both weapons using the energy of a star. However, the way it functions is just...[[Derp|weird.]]

Fortunately, in terms of actual gameplay, in [[Battlefleet Gothic: Armada II]], the Lightning Arc is one of the primary weapons used by Necron starships. It is by far the most common of these naval weapons and it is a rough analogue of a [[Macrocannon|Macrocannon Battery.]] Being the Necron's run-of-the-mill starship weapon, Lightning Arcs are found on either side of the ships' hull.

Like all Necron starship weapons, Lightning Arcs essentially bypass all forms of shields including ''[[Void shields]]'' to get into the soft and juicy bits. However, because of its function, it affects the ''entirety'' of the ship as the quasi-living solar energy attacks weak points of the target. This makes the Lightning Arc, like its namesake, quite good at creating attack-chains from one targeted ship to the next nearest one.
