Nidhögg the Thundering is the upgraded form of Nidhögg using the Iolite. Like all upgraded-weapons that use Iolite, they gain 10 lightning damage and their hit effect has a 25% to apply Chain Lightning.

An upgraded Nidhögg will NOT keep its upgrade level when it is modified using gemstones.

Like all other one-handed swords it has:

• Primary attack is a 3-hit combo with double damage on the last hit. No damage penalty against multiple targets.
• Secondary attack deals 3x damage with a slightly longer reach.
