Pierce
Pierce is a behavior of projectiles that enables them to pass through targets, continuing along their original trajectory.
Pierce chance
Pierce chance is rolled independently for every hit. If a projectile fails to pierce, one of the other effects – chain, fork or return – may apply. Pierce chance cannot exceed 100%.
Arrow Pierce Chance
All projectiles have an Arrow Pierce Chance stat, regardless of whether the projectile is actually an arrow. A projectile's Arrow Pierce Chance is equal to the sum of all x% chance of Projectiles Piercing modifiers and x% chance of Arrows Piercing modifiers. Arrow Pierce Chance cannot exceed 100%.
