Pierce is a behaviour of projectiles that enables them to pass through targets they hit, continuing along their original trajectory.
Mechanics[ | ]
Only one projectile behaviour can be applied each time a projectile hits a target. Pierce has first priority for projectile behaviours, followed by fork, chain, then return. This means that if you had pierce, fork, and chain supporting the same skill, it would first pierce to its maximum number of pierces, then fork, and only then would it be able to chain to its maximum number of chains.
The number of times a projectile can pierce is equal to the sum of all Projectiles Pierce x additional Targets modifiers. If a projectile is an arrow, Arrows Pierce x additional Targets modifiers are included in the sum.
