Shock in Shin Megami Tensei
Shock (感電, Kanden)? is a negative ailment that is commonly inflicted after being struck by Electricity Skills, but can also be caused by the effect of some weapons and bullets. The target's evasion is dropped to zero when shocked, but there are additional effects depending on the game.

A shocked character becomes more vulnerable to Ice Skills. The number of turns a character stays shocked can stack and that number is reduced by one at the end of each turn.
Persona 3 / FES / Portable / Reload[]
In Persona 3, Shocked combatants are more likely to receive critical hits. In Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable, Physical attacks that hit Shocked combatants will always be critical hits. The effect wears off at the start of the shocked combatant's turn.
In Reload, Shock prevents a combatant from moving for one turn and will wear off at the start of their next turn. Physical attacks landing on a Shocked combatant are more likely to become a critical hit.
Persona 4 Arena[]
Shock prevents the afflicted character from moving via normal means. It disappears after a brief period of time, or if the Shocked character hits their opponent.

This topic is in need of research for the following reason: * Test Shock+Down in P5, as WEAK is prioritized over TECHNICAL. This can be discussed on the article's talk page. |
A Succubus afflicted with Shock in Persona 5.
Shocked combatants are unable to take actions. Shock allows for Technical damage from Nuclear, Gun, and Physical attacks, melee included. It has an expiration timer of 1 and will expire at the start of the combatant's second turn.
If a Shocked combatant is hit with a melee attack, the Shock may be removed from them and transferred to the attacker. The transfer can happen even if the target dies from the attack, and automatically overrides any ailment the attacker may have (including Shock, although this specific case is only possible with the Baton Pass glitch below), ignoring Null Shock or trait "Immunity". The chance of the ailment transfer is not affected by traits "Icy Glare"/"Cool Customer". If the Shocked combatant is immune to the melee attack and hence cannot be damaged, the ailment will not be transferred.
Combatants immune to Electric damage because of their affinity are also immune to Shock, including the Shock transfer by melee attacks, unless they are under the effect of Elec Break. If the Shock cannot be transfered because of Eletric immunity, it will not be removed from the attacked target either. Since Bleeding Dry Brush has a secondary effect of modifying its target's affinities, it also indirectly prevents Shock. If a combatant is affected by both Bleeding Dry Brush and Elec Break, Elec Break's affinity modification will take priority and make them vulnerable to Shock transfer. If a combatant is already Shocked, getting Electric immunity will not cure them of the ailment.
In Persona 5 Royal, if a combatant simultaneously Downs an enemy and gets Shocked (e.g. from using melee attacks or from a reflected Electric skill), the combatant will still get a One More but Shock prevents them from taking an action with it. However, due to a glitch, if this attack happens after a Baton Pass, the combatant will be able to act freely during the One More even while being Shocked. In either case, an irregular Hold Up will be initiated if all enemies are Downed after this.
Shocked Shadows cannot be negotiated with.
Persona 5 Strikers[]
Shocked users are slowed down in battle.
Shock allows for Technical damage from Physical and Nuclear attacks.
Persona 5 Tactica[]
Shocked users are unable to move but are still able to perform an attack or use a skill if a target is within range of the shocked combatant.
Inflicting Shock on a revenger unit does not prevent it from using its leaping Counter.
