Does it activate at random or is it just strange like that?

You time it correctly, and it'll let you recover an amount of HP.

You have to be rolling or attacking while getting hit. Start rolling/attacking before the enemy hit lands.

Also it's only certain frames during the attacks, I'm fairly certain that at the end of the attack you'll still take damage. I'd recommend rolling at first, then maybe try your bison charge and dropkick those all have decent frames to activate it iirc.

I'm not a Karok and I haven't played one, but I believe Shock Absorb is triggered when you get hit during an active frame in your attack (that is, when your attack has an actual hitbox to hit things with). People typically Shock Absorb with the roll because that's the fastest move that can be performed with the most amount of active frames.
