Pierce

This article is about the passive skill that bypasses elemental resistance. For the physical attack element, see Pierce Skills.

Pierce (貫通, Kantsū)^? is a passive skill.

Effect

Pierce allows the user's physical attacks to bypass all resistances, except for Repel.

In Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, Pierce is divided into individual passives for each element, such as Phys Pierce.

In Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, Pierce will only bypass resistances and won't work against nullifications or absorbs.
