We investigate the effect of perturbations on holographic complexity using an
eternal black hole background perturbed by shock waves, with both the
complexity=action (CA) and complexity=volume (CV) proposals. We consider
Vaidya geometries describing a thin shell of null fluid with arbitrary energy falling
in from one of the boundaries of a two-sided AdS-Schwarzschild spacetime. We
demonstrate how scrambling and chaos are imprinted in the complexity of
formation and in the full time evolution of complexity via the switchback effect for
light shocks, as well as analogous properties for heavy ones.
