55 Shockward I is a standard passive Abyss Core in Crimson Desert. The resistance reduces damage from lightning-element attacks and lessens the duration of the Shocked status effect, which normally briefly stuns the player.

77 Like Frostward I, this core is best treated as a swap-in option for specific encounters rather than a permanent fixture. Lightning damage is less common than physical damage in the early and mid game, but certain late-game bosses and Abyss-corrupted storm creatures rely heavily on shock attacks.
