Charge Shield

Charge Shield is a defensive item that emits an electrical discharge when it is struck. It functions as a reactive shield: instead of only blocking or reducing incoming damage, the shield produces a burst of electricity at the moment of impact.

The Charge Shield appears as an equipment option intended to change the dynamics of close-range engagements by adding an automatic electric effect tied to incoming hits. Its behavior is consistent across language descriptions: the shield produces an electric discharge whenever it takes a hit.

• Activation: triggers on being struck by an attack.
• Effect type: an electrical discharge (shock) is produced at the moment of impact.
• Tactical role: serves as a reactive deterrent during melee exchanges, creating an additional consequence for attackers who make direct contact with the bearer.
• Limitations: the shield’s only described mechanic is the discharge-on-hit; no specific damage values, status effects, ranges, or cooldowns are specified in the available descriptions.

Players should treat the Charge Shield as a defensive option that adds passive electrical retaliation to normal blocking or damage mitigation, altering how opponents behave when engaging directly.
