Shield Piercing
Modifier · offense
The piercing channel countering Shield Deflection, weighted 0.55 against an Explorer defender and 0.2 against a Battleship or Interceptor. It does not reduce the shield pool and does not change how much damage is routed to shields — those are Max Shield HP and Shield Mitigation. It is also granted by the umbrella stat Piercing, so bonuses to that raise this too.
