The '''Shock Therapy''' is a melee weapon for the [[Medic]]. It is a arm-mounted battery-powered taser.
The '''Shock Therapy''' is a melee weapon for the [[Medic]]. It's an arm-mounted gadget, powered by a team-colored battery, with two large prongs that emit a current of electricity. The opacity of the electricity going through the prongs is proportional to how much charge the weapon has. As a hidden attribute, it has a 70% increase in melee range compared to other weapons.


When hitting a teammate with a full charge, it heals them the amount of maximum health they have, and even overheals them. However, it entirely depletes the charge, in which hitting a teammate again would do nothing until the weapon is fully charged again. The weapon takes 30 seconds to recharge.
The Shock Therapy operates using a charge meter. When the meter is full, attacking an enemy (including enemy buildings) consumes it entirely, dealing 100 damage. When attacking an ally (excluding allied buildings) on a charged hit, it also consumes it, healing 100% of their max health value and [[Healing|overhealing]] if their health would be full. Once depleted, the meter will recharge after 30 seconds, after respawning, or after visiting a resupply locker. While recharging, attacking an enemy consumes the remaining charge and deals between 1 and 99 damage. Attacking an ally while recharging does nothing. Attacking a [[Spy]] disguised as an ally will heal them instead of hurt them. Attacking an invulnerable enemy will consume the charge without dealing damage.


Hitting an enemy with a full charge can deal up to 100 damage points. However, it also entirely depletes the charge. Hitting an enemy without a full charge does work, but it deals damage proportional to the current charge, as well as depleting whatever charge there was.
The Shock Therapy also deals [[Critical hit|mini-crits]] against wet enemies, such as those [[water|underwater]], recently escaping water, or in shallow water - but not [[Fish whacker|bleeding]] enemies. Its charge will be set to 0% as long as the user is underwater, making it deal no damage at all. It will still damage underwater enemies as long as the user is above the surface.


Going underwater while wielding the Shock Therapy instantly depletes the charge.
As a penalty, the Shock Therapy cannot randomly crit (as a hidden attribute), and gives 15% less heal rate (including overheal rate) on the [[Medi Gun]] and [[Kritzkrieg]]. This means the heal rate is changed to a minimum of 20.4 HP/s (from 24) and a maximum of 61.2 HP/s (from 72). This has the side effect of building [[ÜberCharge]] faster, as the Medic receives less Über meter when healing allies above 142.5% health.

The Shock Therapy is a melee weapon for the Medic. It's an arm-mounted gadget, powered by a team-colored battery, with two large prongs that emit a current of electricity. The opacity of the electricity going through the prongs is proportional to how much charge the weapon has. As a hidden attribute, it has a 70% increase in melee range compared to other weapons.

The Shock Therapy operates using a charge meter. When the meter is full, attacking an enemy (including enemy buildings) consumes it entirely, dealing 100 damage. When attacking an ally (excluding allied buildings) on a charged hit, it also consumes it, healing 100% of their max health value and overhealing if their health would be full. Once depleted, the meter will recharge after 30 seconds, after respawning, or after visiting a resupply locker. While recharging, attacking an enemy consumes the remaining charge and deals between 1 and 99 damage. Attacking an ally while recharging does nothing. Attacking a Spy disguised as an ally will heal them instead of hurt them. Attacking an invulnerable enemy will consume the charge without dealing damage.

The Shock Therapy also deals mini-crits against wet enemies, such as those underwater, recently escaping water, or in shallow water - but not bleeding enemies. Its charge will be set to 0% as long as the user is underwater, making it deal no damage at all. It will still damage underwater enemies as long as the user is above the surface.

As a penalty, the Shock Therapy cannot randomly crit (as a hidden attribute), and gives 15% less heal rate (including overheal rate) on the Medi Gun and Kritzkrieg. This means the heal rate is changed to a minimum of 20.4 HP/s (from 24) and a maximum of 61.2 HP/s (from 72). This has the side effect of building ÜberCharge faster, as the Medic receives less Über meter when healing allies above 142.5% health.
