Armor Pierce is a Bushido or Ninjitsu special move that was added during the Samurai Empire expansion in the fall of 2004. It requires 50 Bushido or Ninjitsu skill to execute.
Effects
Upon landing Armor Pierce, 50% of the damage dealt is added as direct damage, with a possibility to damage the target's armor. It is similar to the special move Crushing Blow. For example, if an attack is made on a creature and it averages 14 points of damage per hit, then the Armor Pierce attack will inflict 21 points of damage (14 + (14 / 2) = 21).
