* Even though EMP percentage stacks, it doesn't stack freely: every EMP weapon has a maximum percentage it can raise a unit to. This is described in the weapon stat block as a maximum stun time - each second effectively being a 2.5% maximum over 100% since EMP decays at that rate. | * Even though EMP percentage stacks, it doesn't stack freely: every EMP weapon has a maximum percentage it can raise a unit to.
