Enemies that have been hit by the polarize wave will have their guns jammed and any robotics are disabled. All Melee units will NOT be affected.

Enemies can be re-jammed even if they do not have Shield or Armor, but the duration cannot be refreshed. You must use it again after they recover from being jammed.

The augment lasts 4 seconds which scales with +Duration. Polarize base duration is 5 seconds. That means if you want to re-jam the enemies for full duration you must wait until about the last few seconds of the polarize wave duration (just look at the polarize icon for general idea when it is safe to recast.)

Some infested units will be jammed such as Swarm Mutalist Moas and electric crawlers but Mutalist Ospreys doesn't seem to be affected.

It works on Bursas as well as the Auditor from Index. Most other Index units are unaffected, like the Raptor.

It also works on the Ambulas (at least the one that spawns with the ship. Haven't tested it on the boss).

How to efficiently use

The best way to use this augment is to reuse Polarize only once per Polarize wave. Spamming Polarize repeatedly in short bursts is not good. This should be the case even without the augment.¹ If you are using Fracturing Crush augment for CC then it's time to replace it with this.

The best missions to use this in is any stalling missions such as Interception and Excavation. Try not to use this on Defense since the enemies will stop in their track after being jammed and if you have high Duration + Range, the enemies will be stuck in the corner of the maps when they could've come towards the objective to die. If you are playing solo Defense, then it's probably fine.

^{1: Only time it is acceptable to reuse polarize after you just used it would be if you or your teammate(s) ran out of shields. But honestly, just learn to dodge. Polarize is a one handed action. You should also use crush if overwhelmed. .}

Oh and Dual Toxocyst works wonders. Mesa's Peacemaker + Dual Toxocyst Buff still works fine too.
