do lightning elemental users have an advantage over water elemental users?

[Ultimatelifeform]

Is this true?
water > fire, wind > lightning however fire > wind, lightning > water
Yes or No?

 

[Dupa]

I think it's Lightning > Earth > Water > Fire > Wind > Lightning

 

[From the Dark Spire]

Earth is better than water.

Lightening is better than EARTH.

Earth>Water>Fire>Wind>Lightening>Earth

 

[shanee]

well duhh, didnt anyone ever tell you not to stand in water while its lightning out?

 

[genii96]

Well,yes they do. Suigetsu has a water body,and is weak to lightening

 

[Ultimatelifeform]

Well,yes they do. Suigetsu has a water body,and is weak to lightening

This was as I thought, thanks.

 

[Kages]

Not as much as Earth

Lightning is not stronger than water. It's just that water conduct electricity, so it actually make it stronger. It's for that reason that a body made of water like Suigetsu's can't handle it because by increasing the electricity on his water based body, it incapacitate him because of the great amount of electricity flowing in his body

 

[UchihaInza]

yes it is true Uchiha Inza thats why deidaras attacks didnt work against Lord Sasuke

Kishi decides which elements he wants to be stronger. In some othe anime lightning shits on water. And Water doesn't conduct electricity. Water is a very good insulator, at least with "normal" voltages. Anything will conduct electricity if the potential difference is high enough.
What does conduct electricity are SOLUTIONS, solutions which contain ions, which come from substances that dissolve in the water and dissociate into ions.

So pure water. Not a good conductor.
Water with stuff dissolved in it. Good conductor

It's the ions that are dissolved in the water that make water conduct electricity.

 

[Gaara]

It's like Pokemon

 

[thegame]

No, lightning > earth , earth > water , etc..

Only water pokemons are weak to electricity, reality isn't that simple, water doesn't conduct electricity U_U

 

[SilverSlick]

Go try it yourself. Go piss on an electric fence and see what happens. Let me tell you, its not pleasant.

 

[Pekoms]

Others have already stated the correct order.
Katon > Fuuton > Raiton >Doton > Suiton

Raiton will not overcome an incoming Suiton, it'll just enhance it.

The Hozuki Clan turn their bodies into water.
When Raiton is applied to their bodies, it gets sent throughout.
As a result, they have trouble properly liquifying.

 

[TheRedAndGreenBeast]

Water conducts electricity. So it doesn't weaken the water; it makes it stronger. Lightning ATK > Water DEF Water ATK > Lightning DEF. Lightning runs through the water so it is not wise to use one to defend against the other. This is why the Hozuki Clan is weak to it.
