While the Barbarian King, Archer Queen, and Royal Champion altars can be destroyed with no problem, the Grand Warden Altar can only be readily destroyed if the defending Grand Warden is inactive.This is even more useful when it is sufficiently upgraded (as you would only need one when upgraded to level 5 or higher). If you need to destroy just one more building to reach 50% destruction, Lightning Spells can be used to destroy a Builder's Hut or Hero Altars.However, Poison doesn't affect structures. However, if one simply wants to take out enemy troops, Poison Spell does better since it does more damage and slows them.Lightning Spells can be used to kill/damage Heroes directly too. A common use is to use lure Clan Castle troops near defenses and then drop a Lightning Spell to eliminate the troops if their health is low enough and simultaneously damage the defenses in its radius.In combination with the Earthquake Spell, Lightning Spells can be used in large numbers to destroy high hitpoint buildings such as the Eagle Artillery or Scattershot directly however, this is often not worth it unless you can destroy at least two such buildings, or otherwise get value (such as by defeating the enemy Archer Queen at the same time).
10 level 9 Lightning Spells can take out a level 4 Eagle Artillery. Three or four Lightning Spells will usually suffice against them, unless the building has very high health or the spell is low leveled.
Lightning Spells are often used to take out an enemy's strong defenses, such as Mortars, Wizard Towers, X-Bows, Eagle Artillery and Air Defenses, which paves the way for troops to attack.If a Defensive Building or troop is struck by the bolt, it is stunned briefly and retargets. The Lightning Spell does damage to Buildings and enemy Troops in a small radius, with the exception of resource storages, the Town Hall, and the Clan Castle. The Lightning Spell is the first Elixir spell unlocked in the Spell Factory, and is automatically unlocked once the Spell Factory has finished being built, requiring the Town Hall to be at level 5.
