Shock is a status condition that will, at random intervals, cause the victim to spasm, interrupting anything the victim was doing. 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.
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 other enemies or allies, and potentially spread the status. Enemies will take extra damage if struck while being hurt by shock.
Themed Enemies
