Shock
Shock stuns enemies for a moment, and it’s the element every boss is weak to. Jolts enemies, stunning them for 0.4s.
How to use it
Guns with shock built in trigger it on a quarter of their hits as they drop, and the Elemental Core upgrade raises the chance. Any other gun can be given shock once it has an Elemental Core.
The Arcanist’s Empower makes every shot trigger its element for 6 seconds, which makes the Arcanist the best shock user in the game.
