Usage
This ability will let your missile attacks to pass through foes into another target after hitting. This ability is very useful for many Amazon builds, but may require a little effort to get the monsters to line up.
Works with Bow, Crossbow, and Javelin attacks, but does not work with the Guided Arrow skill.
History
After long hours of training, an Amazon warrior's bow arm can develop tremendous amounts of strength. With this strength, and some additional training, the Amazon is able to maximize the power of her bow, enabling her to penetrate multiple targets with a single arrow.

Strategy
- Stacks additively with Razortail (Unique Sharkskin Belt), or Bows that have inherent Piercing ability (such as Kuko Shakaku). Getting this skill to slvl 9 (after +skill equipment) will let 100% of Arrows/Bolts/Javelins pierce.
- With Freezing Arrow: the FA "explosion" and area-of-effect damage occurs for each monster hit, so hitting 2 adjacent monsters with a single arrow that Pierces doubles the damage to both of them from that arrow. Hitting a wall immediately behind a monster will also trigger a FA "explosion".
- With Lightning Fury: Each monster hit by the LF "throw" will trigger an additional set of Chain Lightning bolts.
- Piercing monsters is also incredibly good with weapon "procs" (such as the Chance to cast Amplify Damage on Witchwild String), as each monster pierced gives a separate opportunity to trigger the effect.
