Immobilised
A target is Immobilised when it cannot move between locations. Pin, Freeze, Heavy Stun, and Electrocution are common ways to cause this state.0.5.4d

What Immobilised does
Current rulesTreat Immobilised as a condition checked by other effects, not as one specific debuff. A target is Immobilised whenever an effect prevents it from moving. Pin is the important exception to the usual visual expectation: a Pinned target cannot move but may still perform actions. Freeze, Heavy Stun, and Electrocution also prevent actions under their own rules.
- Immobilised means unable to move
- The shared requirement is prevention of movement from one location to another.
- It does not always mean unable to act
- Pin makes a target Immobilised but does not normally prevent every action. Check the specific immobilising effect for its full restrictions.
- Several mechanics qualify
- Freeze, Pin, Heavy Stun, and Electrocution all make a target Immobilised.
- Most use buildup
- Most immobilising effects build toward a threshold. Reaching 100% applies the effect and resets that buildup.
- Related bonuses check the state
- Damage, Critical Hit Chance, and other bonuses against Immobilised enemies work while any qualifying immobilising effect is active.
Effect by item type
4 casesHeavy Stun
Interrupts the current action, prevents actions for its duration, and counts as Immobilised.
Related: Heavy Stun, Stun ThresholdElectrocution
Interrupts actions, prevents actions for its duration, and counts as Immobilised.

4 rules- A movement Slow does not by itself make a target Immobilised. The target must be unable to move.
- Immobilised is not one debuff, so immunity must be checked against the actual effect that caused it.
- Bonuses against Immobilised enemies do not require one particular cause unless the bonus names that cause.
- Do not assume an Immobilised enemy cannot attack or cast. Pin normally allows actions.

Pin is a buildup-based control mechanic. When Pin buildup reaches the target's threshold, the target is Pinned for 3 seconds.
mechanicFreezeFreeze is a non-damaging Cold Ailment that prevents a target from moving or acting. Cold Hits can Freeze directly or add Freeze Buildup, and reaching 100% Buildup makes the target Frozen.
mechanicHeavy StunHeavy Stun is the longer disable caused when an enemy's Heavy Stun buildup bar fills. Eligible Hits add buildup based on their damage, and the bar begins to empty after buildup has not been applied for a period.
mechanicElectrocutionElectrocution is a non-damaging Lightning Ailment that interrupts a target and prevents it from performing actions. It lasts five seconds by default, but ordinary Lightning damage cannot build Electrocution without an explicit enabling effect.
mechanicStun ThresholdStun Threshold is the target-side reference used to determine Light Stun chance and Heavy Stun buildup. Raising your own threshold makes incoming Stuns less likely, while lowering an enemy's threshold makes that enemy easier to Stun.
mechanicEvasionEvasion Rating grants an entropy-based chance to Evade enemy Hits completely. The actual chance compares the defender's Evasion Rating with the Accuracy Rating of the attacker.
mechanicSlowA Slow makes an action take longer. A Slow can affect a named speed such as movement speed, or affect everything the target does when no speed is specified.
supportPin IISupports any skill that Hits enemies, allowing its Physical damage to Pin enemies but making it unable to Stun, as well as granting Critial Hit Chance against Immobilised enemies.

MechanicStunStun interrupts the target's current action and briefly prevents it from acting. Path of Exile 2 has two related systems: Light Stun is rolled from the damage of one Hit, while Heavy Stun is caused by filling a separate buildup bar.
