  Jolted

  Pulse Grenade

  Arc Grenade

  A grenade that periodically damages targets within its explosion radius.

  Lethal Current

  

  Jolted

  

  Blind

  After dodging, your next melee attack has increased lunge range, jolts the target, and creates a damaging aftershock. Damaging any jolted target with melee attacks also blinds them.
