A gremlin-modified Battle Sprite that focuses heavily on electrical attacks, ShockBot 3000 (I really need a better name for that!) hits quickly and efficiently.

Appearance

ShockBot is a flying hemispherical casing, with holes to show off gears inside and a mask in the front that glows the player's Personal Colour. It starts off rusted and worn, constantly shooting sparks, but gets cleaner and more elaborate with every evolution.

Abilities

Ability 1: Electro Zap

Fires a straight electrical surge wherever the player's pointing. Does light damage, and has a miniscule chance to inflict Shock.

Ultimate 1: Electric Discharge

Fires a red bolt that does heavy damage and has a decent chance to inflict Shock. Also adds a small laser cannon to the side of ShockBot's head.

Ultimate 2: Electric Pulse

Fires a longer-lasting blast, akin to the laser turrets in Crimson Hammer, with the same small Shock chance and light damage as the original, but can hit multiple times due to the duration. Adds a longer barreled, thinner laser cannon.

Skills:

Voltage: Increases damage.
Residual Charge: Higher shock chance.
Cooling Circuits: Faster cooldown.

Ability 2: Disabling Jolt

A short-range pulse that has a chance to stun and/or shock any targets it hits.

Ultimate 1: Disabling Cloud

An area attack that has a chance to stun and/or shock all enemies within about 2 tiles. Adds a vent over ShockBot's mouth.

Ultimate 2: Overclocked Jolt

A short-range pulse that has a higher chance to stun the closer the enemies are to you. Adds goggles to ShockBot.

Skills:

Arc: Increases range.
Amplification: Increases stun and shock chance.
Fast Capacitors: Faster cooldown.

Ability 3: Lightning Bolt

Causes lightning to strike the designated area, causing a small shockwave and dealing heavy damage to any targets directly hit.

Ultimate 1: Chain Lightning

Causes lightning to jump between enemies, dealing light damage. Adds a lightning rod to ShockBot's head.

Ultimate 2: Lightning Storm

Causes 3 weaker lightning bolts to strike randomly within a large area. Adds an orbiting shard of Moonstone to ShockBot.

Skills:
Power Distributor: Increases wave area.
Surge Increaser: Increases damage.
Lightning Attractor: Faster cooldown.

Harnesses: It can only use Crystal, Iron and Dark harnesses, because Piercing lightning doesn't make any measure of sense.

I didn't tune exact damages, because I don't know what all the OTHER pets do on each stratum. Tell me if anything's too OP/UP, and also if the entire concept's worthless and should be scrapped, which it probably should! Yay!

Fits the color too. So now we just need a green sprite idea!

The first ability with the second ultimate is overpowered against both drakons and seraphynxes.
More so when you consider constant shock triggers can stunlock most targets.

You know how long cooldowns take, right? It's around 10 seconds between Bolts, with a small chance. Even if we assume around 3-4 hits, it would be unlikely to activate more than once.

-1 because they main attacks are like the same thing. Might have to update the moves.

Hmm. I guess that's a point. Just to clarify, you mean attacks 1 and 3, right?

First, attack 1 is a line, attack 3 is a designated circle area thing, and the ults are the difference between "area attack" and "massive +stun chance".
