Stun Baton

[|tb|Brutal]

What is the point of this weapon it doesn't seem to help at all.

It stuns pals. Stunned pals have a +30% bonus to their capture chance.

i agree

[KnightNi]

When a pal has a status effect on them like poison or paralysis from the baton it makes their capture rate increase

[KellyR]

It's also valuable because it does basically 1 damage no matter how high level you are, so you can still capture low level Pals when you're so strong that hitting them with anything else would just one-shot them.

I just made one and it doesn't appear to do anything at all. I haven't seen a pal get stunned and it isn't pulsing with electricity or doing anything to indicate stunning. Is that normal?

You have to hit them multiple times. You can stun them for as long you have stamina too.

Im not seeing any change. I go to a level 5 or so pal and still get the same % to capture regardless if its stunned or it its not.

Test it yourself. When one is not stunned, press and hold Q and it shows the overall catch chance. Stun it, and hold Q again, its the same

Level 5 .... :)

You dont need anything to catch these buggers, it should not fail even when using a low level pike to hit them and the lowest pal spheres.

I think you have to test it on something a bit beefier :)

I use it to capture low level pals and to stun boss when i'm out of ammo

[Xaelon]

Keep in mind I'm pretty sure shock is a multiplicative(?) 30% boost and not just +30% capture chance.

You get +30% of whatever your current capture chance is.

You mom's a stun baton! Because she is stunning.

What I noticed is that the holding Q % isn't accounting for temporary status effects on the pal. So that +30% will not show up in that info. Just try it look at the % with Q when a status effect is applied and then throw a sphere before it runs out and see that the actual chance is higher then what the Q showed.

As others said these stun battons are helpful if you want to catch lower level pals if everything else you have will just instakill it and throwing a sphere without applying a status effect still has a very low chance of capture.
