Piercing

Piercing is a Trait. A Unit with Piercing will do its normal damage to whatever it attacks, and then always half of its damage rounded down to whatever is next in line (unit or idol).

Examples:

• Cannonetta with 2 Attack attacks the only unit on the opposite row. This unit will be dealt 2 damage. The idol will be dealt 1 damage.
• A buffed Cannonetta with 7 Attack attacks a unit on the opposite row. This unit will be dealt 7 damage. Then 3 damage will be dealt to the next unit on the same row. If there's also a third unit on the row, this unit will be dealt 1 damage. Otherwise the idol will be dealt 1 damage.

In-game description
