Pierce

WEAPON KEYWORD[]

During the “Modify Defense Dice” step of an attack, a unit whose attack pool includes a weapon that has the pierce x keyword can cancel up to x results.

• The pierce x keyword can be used to cancel results on defense dice rolled by a unit using the guardian x keyword. When doing so, treat canceled results as blank results. After using pierce x in this way, any unused pierce x value can still be used to cancel results rolled by the defender.

For example, a unit with pierce 3 attacks an enemy unit, and another enemy unit uses guardian 2 to cancel 2 hit results. After converting surge results, the unit using guardian has rolled 2 results. The attacking unit uses pierce to cancel the 2 results and the unit using guardian suffers 2 wounds. Now the defender rolls defense dice, and the attacking unit can cancel 1 more result rolled by the defender since only 2 of its original pierce 3 was used so far.
