Elite Buff: Static (Boss)

Internal engine status effect. This is the boss-specific variant of the Static elite buff. Static causes the enemy to discharge electricity when hit, applying Shock or Short Circuit to melee attackers.

The boss version may discharge more frequently, deal more damage, or have a wider discharge radius. Static punishes melee engagement by applying debilitating electric effects to anyone who strikes the boss, effectively creating a deterrent against physical contact. Shock can stun or disrupt your cats' next actions, creating a feedback loop where attacking the boss leaves you vulnerable.

Use ranged attacks to avoid triggering the static discharge entirely. If melee is necessary, Robot-type cats gain Energized instead of being Shocked by electricity, making them ideal for engaging Static bosses. Electric resistance or immunity effects also negate the discharge. The standard version, Elite Buff: Static, applies to non-boss elites with weaker discharge parameters.
