Title: Piercing +X
Post by: reddawn on August 23, 2013, 03:50:36 AM
Does this trait function the same as Melee +X?

I believe that it stacks and that only if the card specifically states "the next time" then it only effects the first time.. ice grizzley has plus one if I play piercing strike then he has plus 4. If I use it on FM with galvitar only the first strike gets it... I think

Correct it applies for all attacks unless otherwise stated.

So, say for example I used the Sacrificial Altar to destroy a level 3 creature and give my Warlock Melee +3 and Piercing +3 until the end of the round, and also used a Battle Fury that round...basically, I wouldn't get the Melee +3 bonus for the second attack but I would keep the Piercing +3 bonus, since Altar specifies "until end of round?"

Piercing takes away armour for that attack that it is in effect so the card piercing strike uses the "the next time" rule .... I thought I could kill IRON GOLEMS with ease using FM and thought spore spam casting Piercing strike but my friend pointed it out to me...almost every other ability gives it until end of round.
