How does Stun Threshold work? (some mechanics could be better explained)
Does stun threshold only apply when blocking with a shield? Or does it apply to getting hit in general?

It's in general.
It's an amount of a singular hit you can take that doesn't cause you to flinch. Changing the threshold makes it harder to stagger you and will require heavier hits.
You can hold alt to garner more information from a stat with underlines.

Threshold in general are a mechanic where a unit (ally or enemy, it works both ways) try to inflict a status on their target. The higher the damage usually the higher you build towards that status/ailment. And basically increasing your threshold makes you less suspectible to reach the point where the ailment will happen.

Basically in this case if you have a lot of stun threshold you will be less likely to be stunned when enemies attack you. I believe threshold are also based on your max health relative to the damage inflicted so higher health characters will have an easier time too.

There are nodes to convert energy shield capacity to stun threshold as well so those are a option if the problem arises and you aren't throwing everything into health.
