	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''' 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 [[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.

	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.

	The Shock Therapy is the only melee weapon that can heal other players, so use it sparingly during combat! It heals a friendly player up to 100% of their health and can overheal, making it ideal for healing an injured ally with less than 50% health. [[Heavies]] and [[Soldiers]] are ideal classes for healing due to their high health points. This is also an excellent for defense if the ally has taken a significant hit and needs to be burst healed with the Shock Therapy, as Mediguns have a lower heal rate when the melee weapon is equipped. Its reduced heal rate makes it difficult for the Medic to heal groups of allies quickly enough for them to return to the battlements, but this can be addressed by adding another Medic to the team. The Shock Therapy makes the Mediguns fill ÜberCharge faster in exchange for less healing, making it helpful when Medic is constantly in the frontlines of which he needed the ÜberCharge effect the most.

	Only use Shock Therapy in duels or in dire situations, such as when alone and facing flanking enemies. Its hidden increased melee range stat allows it to easily inflict significant damage on enemies at full charge. Try shocking the enemy before killing them with the [[Syringe Gun]], or vice versa. It is an excellent counter to a Heavy equipped with [[Chekhov's Punch]], as the shock can kill him instantly unless he has overheal. It is ineffective against disguised [[Spies]] because it heals rather than harms them; instead, use the Syringe Gun, or wait for their disguise to wear off first.
