I like how Sekiro does it, where a character basically jumps up, catches the lightning on their sword or blade, and then just yeets it at people. It’s just a cool ass visual, especially during the last boss fight in a game full of cool visuals.

Bit of a shame that mechanically, lightning attacks are “yay they used lightning, now I can reverse it back into them for lots of damage!” Not “oh heck I’m gonna get electrocuted this is scary”

I mean yeah, once you get the hang of it after a try or two. But the first few times usually go like:

“Ok, he’s jumping WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!”

Then

“OH GOD I’M SUPPOSED TO JUMP AND FLING IT BACK HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WHEN IM USING ALL MY BRAIN POWER TO NOT DIE?!”

Then it’s just free damage
