Electon from BDII

Elvis using Electon in Bravely Default II.

Electon (エレクトン, Erekuton?) is a spell exclusive to Bravely Default II. It is a unique lightning and light dual-elemental magic spell available from the Arcanist job's Necromancy command.

Electon is learned at job level 5 for Arcanist job. It deals lightning and light-elemental magic damage to all members of the player and enemy parties. It costs 50 MP to cast.

When combined with the Red Mage's Nuisance specialty passive, Electon can be a powerful debuffing move due to its dual-elemental nature, allowing it have a chance of inflicting the Paralysis, Confusion, Blind, and Charm statuses on the damaged targets. However, this can be counterproductive if players lack status immunity equipment and gets affected themselves.

Due to the spell's potentially detrimental nature of inflicting damage on the party, players should be wary of the party's health when performing the spell. It is the second of four spells of this type so its relatively weaker potency makes it one of the safer variants of the job's dual-elemental spells, making it somewhat useful on handling weaker enemy groups with lightning or light weaknesses. With proper lightning and light resistant equipment, combined with an Oracle's Elemental Ward Divination skill, Electon can inflict minimal damage, or even heal members of the player party when used.

Vigintio is also able to use Electon in battle the first time he is faced, dealing damage to himself and the player party, with his weakness to the light element inflicting extra damage on himself.

Etymology[]

The word "electon" comes from the word 'electricity', referring to the lightning-elemental nature. However, given the spell's dual-elemental nature in Bravely Default II, it may be a portmanteau of "electron" and "photon", the fundamental particles of electricity and light, respectively.

The Electon spell originates from the Final Fantasy series of games. The spell was first introduced in Final Fantasy XV as the ultimate lightning-elemental spell.
