Okay, so I THINK I know how it works but I wanted to make sure. If I shock someone and they touch (4 meters) someone else the first person they touch gets shocked right? Is it the same value as the original shock like 50 madness if it was a Blast or 30 if it was Therapy? Is that adjusted by addons that increase the value?

What if I shock someone 5 times with King and Queen so they have all the madness effects, do they pass any or all of those on to the next person too? Or does that person get one randomly assigned because of the shock being passed on to them?

Also, does it work like the Plague if I shock someone then down them, does the person who unhooks them get the shock passed on to them?

    Going by the add-on description, I would assume that it will be 30 points and would be augmented by add-ons that care about Shock Therapy.

    I don't think shocking someone multiple times with Iridescent King will pass all of the inflictions to someone else with Iridescent Queen. I imagine the charge recipient will only get one as though they were shocked by a Shock Therapy.

    I am reasonably confident that I have had cases where a Survivor was shocked when trying to rescue an electrically charged person on a hook.

    The way it works is that if any survivor is shocked by Static Blast or Shock Therapy, they gain the static charge; UNLESS that survivor is within 4 meters of another survivor during the same shock event.

    When two survivors who do have a charge walk within 4 meters of each other, it does the same thing as a single Shock Therapy event. I presume that if you're running Iridescent King, it would just apply one random effect. It wouldn't transfer.

    Also, it doesn't say, but being downed or hooked does not get rid of the charge. The charge remains until another survivor goes within 4 meters of the charged survivor, no matter what state.
