Havoc Punch

The Havoc Punch is a slower attack than Charged Brawl, but makes up for it with a greater damage. Havoc Punch can knock down targets, drain some Endurance from your target, or even overload their synapses, leaving them writhing for a moment. A portion of the drained Endurance may be given back to you. Disturbing an overloaded target will disperse the electrical charge and release them.

Shocking Grasp

Shocking Grasp causes the target to be overcome with a violent electrical charge. The seized target is left writhing in agony and is unable to defend themselves. Shocking Grasp also drains a significant amount of Endurance from the target and may return a portion of it to you.
