Lightning stun in Flowbound has a visible electrical effect: a stunned enemy crackles with electricity for as long as the stun lasts. Added in Build 22, dated November 12, 2026, this effect gives you a visual cue for recognizing an active lightning stun.

How to Recognize Lightning Stun

1. Watch the affected enemy. When an enemy is lightning-stunned, look for electricity crackling around it. This is the visual indicator described for the mechanic.
2. Track the crackling effect. The electricity remains visible throughout the stun, rather than appearing only at the moment the enemy becomes stunned.
3. Use the effect to read the stun’s duration. The crackling lasts as long as the stun does. It is a duration cue, not a stated countdown in seconds.

The official patch notes describe this addition as “Lightning stun you can see.” They present it as a visibility improvement; the entry does not announce a longer stun or a change to how it is applied.

What Build 22 Confirms

The confirmed change is straightforward: lightning stun now has a persistent electrical effect on the stunned enemy. You do not need to infer the entire stun window from the initial lightning impact alone—the affected enemy visibly crackles during that window.

Keep the visual change separate from other lightning-related changes in the same patch. The notes also discuss lightning breaking rock and ice, but do not identify those environmental interactions as instructions for applying a stun.

Limits of the Available Instructions

The supplied information does not specify which input or attack applies lightning stun, its duration in seconds, or which enemies can be affected. It also provides no confirmed follow-up combo, cooldown, or damage bonus.

Use this guide to identify and monitor an existing lightning stun. An exact activation sequence or combat rotation cannot be established from the available notes.
