Shock is a status condition that will, at random intervals, cause the victim to spasm, interrupting anything the victim was doing and damaging them. Enemies will only be interrupted if shock damages them while telegraphing: if they are already in the attack animation, it won't be stopped. Attacks that can shock deal a portion of elemental damage; damage taken from shock status can only be reduced by shock-resistant armor. Damage dealt to enemies from shock is considered elemental damage.

If a knight is blocking when a spasm strikes, their shield will be lowered (exposing them to enemy attacks) but the damage from the spasm itself will be blocked.

A unique characteristic of shock is that when the victim receives damage from shock, everything in a small radius around the target will also be hit. This can break blocks, hurt both enemies and allies, and potentially spread the status.

Spiral Knights can inflict shock on monsters by using shock vials against them or using a weapon that has a chance of inflicting shock.

Weapons that are able to inflict shock are:
