 Each type of guard has a base armor level, which can be raised by the daemon [[:daemons:Chiton]], and reduced by the program [[:programs:Aces]]. [[:guards:Barrier Guards]] and [[:guards:OMNI Protectors]] have a variable base armor level, depending on their number of [[:firewalls]].
-===== Armor piercing =====
+===== Armor Piercing =====
+Some attacks have **armor piercing**, which allows them to be used on targets with the same or less [[:armor]] than the armor piercing of the attack.
+An attack's armor piercing is determined by adding the following values:
+  * The armor piercing of the [[:weapon]] used for the attack
+  * Armor piercing provided by [[:augments]] such as [[:augments:Penetration Scanner]], [[:augments:Piercing Scanner]], [[:augments:Enhanced Optics]], [[:augments:Kinetic Capacitor]], or [[:augments:Modular Cybernetic Frame X2]]
+  * Armor piercing provided by the use of a [[:items:Ventricular Lance]] this turn
+There is no benefit for having more armor piercing than the target has armor; an attack either can or cannot hit  a target.
