WHY do the chromas spit deal piercing??
WHY do the spikeless cubes deal piercing??
There are enemies that haw different attacks that deal different types of damage..
So why not the jellies and chromas.
The Jellies spin attack could be normal, while there "thorn up from bellow" would be pierce.
The chromas toung attack could stay Piercing (but make it look pointier) and there spit attacks do normal. And let ALL chromas have toung attack..
Same reason a devilite can deal shadow damage by throwing a mundane office chair at you. It's just what they do.
Well.. I figured that the devilites stuff commes from hell, or some place like it, so it is infused with the very essence of the nether world.. .. .. or somthing..
Change "Piercing" to "Armor Piercing". Get rid of the spikes on the jellies. Think of it as they are oozing their way around normal protections, or their hit has some acid effect that bypasses normal armor.
Hell, before I saw my first spiked jelly, that's what I thought it meant by Piercing.
About the devlites: When their attacks started dealing shadow the patch notes said that they got their supplies from some evil company.
the chromalisks/beasts as well as the slime families are all mean to deal piercing regardless of attack
