Pierce

Preface

Pierce weapons require high precision, but are very deadly against targets with light to no armor. It is one of the most difficult weapon types to master due to the high requirement of accuracy, speed, and positioning from the user.

Pierce weapons feature precise thrush and jab that are best aimed at the target's vulnerable spots. Those that are bigger in size have higher reach, but are slower and cannot be used in narrowed spaces.

Some pierce weapons are made to counter-armor, however, they tend to be far too heavy and unwieldy for most fighters to use any other times.

Strengths: Attacking light to non-armored targets
Weaknesses: Attacking armor, high requirement for accuracy, speed, and positioning
