{{For|the Tip Card|Piercing Battle Damage (Tip Card)}}

"Piercing" is the UDEized word for Trample (as used in MTG, etc). Pierce is the word used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Video Games, and the effect is characterised by the following text in the card lore:

'''Piercing battle damage''' is [[battle damage]] dealt by a [[card effect]] to the controller of a [[Defense Position]] monster by an [[attack]]ing monster. If the defending monster's [[DEF]] is lower than the attacking monster's [[ATK]], 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 ''[[wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]]''.
+
''During battle between this [[attack]]ing card and a [[Defense Position]] [[monster]] whose [[DEF]] is lower than the [[ATK]] of this card, [[inflict]] the difference as [[Battle Damage]] to your opponent.''
  
Because some [[Equip Spell Card]]s that allow monsters to inflict piercing damage deal damage to the opponent of the [[control]]ler of the Equip Spell Card rather than the opponent of the controller of the monster, if a player [[equip]]s a card like "[[Fairy Meteor Crush]]" to an opponent's monster and the opponent attacks the player's Defense Position monster, the opponent will take battle damage instead of the player.
+
In one instance this was printed as ''This card inflicts Piercing damage.'' on "[[Cyberdark Horn]]". Card printed with similar effects in future sets and even the same set have not used this wording.
  
==Example==
+
The following monsters automatically have Piercing in [[OCG]] and [[TCG]]:
Player A's "[[Dark Driceratops]]" (ATK 2400) attacks Player B's Defense Position "[[Mystical Elf]]" (DEF 2000). Regardless of whether "Mystical Elf" is [[destroy]]ed or not, Player B takes the difference (400 points in this case) as [[Battle damage|damage]].

In Japanese, it is written as:

Other monsters can have the "Piercing" ability activated, , usually through a [[cost]] (such as a reduction in [[ATK]]) or by a [[Summon]]ing option. These include:
:「…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。」

==Trivia==
+
* [[Fairy Meteor Crush]] ([[Equip Spell Card]])
* Prior to [[Problem-Solving Card Text]], ''This card inflicts Piercing damage'' appeared in the card text of "[[Cyberdark Horn]]" only.
+
* [[H - Heated Heart]] ([[Normal Spell Card]])
 +
* [[Meteorain]] ([[Normal Trap Card]])
 +

 +
* [[Thorn of Hatred]] ([[Equip Spell Card]]; can only be [[Equipped]] to either [[Black Rose Dragon]] or any [[Plant]]-[[Type]] [[Monster]])
 +
* [[Sword of Kusanagi]] ([[Equip Spell Card]]; can only be [[Equipped]] to [[Spirit Monsters]].
 +
An interesting side-effect of [[Equip Spell Card]]s that give Piercing, 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 monsters [[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]].
