Armor Piercing
Modifier · offense
The piercing channel countering Armor, compared to it as a ratio inside the standard-mitigation product. The channel’s weight comes from the defender’s hull class — armor carries 0.55 against a Battleship and 0.2 against an Explorer or Interceptor — so this is the channel that pays against battleships. It is also granted by the umbrella stat Piercing, so bonuses to that raise this too.
