''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.''.
In one instance this was printed as ''This 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 inflicts Piercing damage.'' on like "[[Cyberdark HornFairy Meteor Crush]]". Card printed with similar effects in future sets to an opponent's monster and even the same set have not used this wordingopponent attacks the player's Defense Position monster, the opponent will take battle damage instead of the player.
The following monsters automatically have Piercing:==Example==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]].
