''During 'Piercing battle between this damage''' is [[attackbattle damage]]ing dealt by a [[card and effect]] to the controller of a [[Defense Position]] monster by an [[monsterattack]] whose ing monster. If the defending monster's [[DEF]] is lower than the attacking monster's [[ATK]] of this card, [[inflict]] the difference is inflicted as battle damage. It is occasionally referred to unofficially as "trample" damage, due to that term having a similar meaning in ''[[Battle Damagewikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]] to your opponent.''.

* ''Example:'' Player A's "Because some [[Dark DriceratopsEquip Spell Card]]" (ATK 2400) attacks Player B's Defense Position "that allow monsters to inflict piercing damage deal damage to the opponent of the [[Mystical Elfcontrol]]" (DEF 2000). Regardless ler of the Equip Spell Card rather than the opponent of the controller of the monster, if a player [[Mystical Elfequip]] is s a card like "[[destroyFairy Meteor Crush]]ed or not" to an opponent's monster and the opponent attacks the player's Defense Position monster, Player B takes the difference (400 points in this case) as [[Battle Damage|opponent will take battle damage]]instead of the player.

In one instance this was printed as ==Example==Player A's "[[Dark Driceratops]]" (ATK 2400) attacks Player B'This card inflicts Piercing damage.'' on s Defense Position "[[Cyberdark HornMystical Elf]]"(DEF 2000). Card printed with similar Regardless of whether "Mystical Elf" is [[effectdestroy]]s ed or not, Player B takes the difference (400 points in future sets and even the same set have not used this wordingcase) as [[Battle damage|damage]].

Although "Piercing" is ==Text==Effects that give monsters the official term for this scenario in ability to inflict piercing battle damage have the context of following text::''If (???) attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage [to your opponent].''YuPrior to [[Problem-Gi-Oh!Solving Card Text]], the same effect would be described as::'', in many circles During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of dueliststhis card, Piercing damage is often colloquially referred inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.''Also prior to instead as Problem-Solving Card Text, on "Trample[[Cyberdark Horn]]", borrowing from the popular and longer-established [[WikipediaDuelist Pack:MagicZane Truesdale]] only: The Gathering|''Magic: The Gathering'']] This card gameinflicts Piercing damage.''

An interesting side-effect of [[Equip Spell Card]]s that give PiercingIn Japanese, it is that you can [[inflict]] [[damage]] to your opponent by [[equip]]ping them to your opponent's [[monster]](s). Then, when your opponent [[attack]]s one of your [[Defense Position]] [[monster]]s with an [[ATK]] greater than your [[monster]]s [[DEF]], he/she will take the difference. After all, even though it's your opponent's [[monster]], it's '''your''' [[Spell Card]], and thus it's your opponent — not ''you'' — who takes the extra [[damage]].written as::「…が守備表示モンスターを攻撃した場合、その守備力を攻撃力が超えた分だけ相手に戦闘ダメージを与える。」
