Thunder Shield

The Thunder Shield is a shield weapon which has a lower damage reduction on block than most other shields and deals electric DPS when held up or in a radius around the player after a successful parry. Reusing the shield while it's charged will discharge the energy, dealing  shock damage and  stunning nearby enemies. This item is exclusive to the Rise of the Giant DLC.

Notes

• The electric damage this shield deals while blocking or after a successful parry is considered a ranged attack, so it can activate ranged mutations like Networking and be buffed by Tranquility, Support and Point Blank.

Trivia

• Thunder Shield worked differently prior to v1.3. It wasn't able to deal area damage or discharge the energy, but successful parries increased the DPS by ~2.7 times.
