How does paralysis work?

[Zzzz]

@Agi

The Phoenix stun lance DMG 100 Elecrtroshock 180 that i looted from a guy in a mission is NOT a capture weapon just a knock out one?

With 100 + 180 there are very few aliens able to resist a hit and counterattack the next turn; just wondering why i cannopt build it being Phoenix

That’s also my understanding, electroshock has no link with paralysis, it is used to stun. I don’t think it’ the same equation than for paralysis.

For the lance, never had it, I supposed it is unlocked by some research. There’s a hammer with similar properties. And there’s a few other stuff with electroshock, as Infiltrator skill hit from behind.

The “Phoenix Shock Lance” comes with a Phoenix Point research that is unlocked by having:

• Anu Berserker research
• NJ Technician research

But it is worthless:

• 100 damage (Marduk is 140)
• 180 shock (Marduk is also 180)
• 2 AP … like Marduk
