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]].

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 [[water|underwater]], recently escaping water, or in shallow water. 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 has the side effect of building [[ÜberCharge]] faster, as the Medic receives less Über meter when healing allies at full health. | 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]].
