Forum:DO PIERCING EFFECTS STACK?

Say you have a Piercing monster, like Saber Beetle or Bitelon. If you activate a card that gives it Piercing, like Slash Strike, does your opponent take double the Piercing damage? It seems to me like they would, because each Pierce says your opponent "takes battle damage equal to the difference", so after both effects activate, would your opponent take double the Piercing damage?

• I don't believe so because you can only take battle damage once, if that was burn damage it may be different. Dmaster (Talk • Contribs • Count) 18:31, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
  • Dmaster is right; piercing damage is considered Battle Damage, not Effect Damage. As such, it only happens once during Damage Calculation regardless of how many piercing effects the monster would have. Danny Lilithborne 20:07, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
• actually it would work. Simply because the spell card is inflicting damage not the monster. So if you were to equip a spell that gives piercing damage to a monster that already has piercing damage. The result would be double piercing damage. Because your opponent will be taking damage from the effect of your monster as well as from your equip spell card. For an example if i have neo parshath with a equiped fairy meateor crush and my opponent has a def of 0. If i attacked the def position monster then the result would be a total of 4600 damage to your opponent. Simply because your opponent would be taking 2300 from your parshath as well as another 2300 from your spell card.

No they don't and stop trying to say they do. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 06:57, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
