Skeletal Warriors

[Wizard]

So I am using an Arquebus vs Skeleton Warriors. Every time I hit them they are immune. I checked their mouse over stats, it says they are immune to poison, but says nothing about piercing. Am I missing monster info that says they are immune to piercing?

That sounds like a bug. Are you playing TB?

I recall being able to damage them with bows, which is also piercing damage. My memory could be faulty, of course.

Some bows do piercing/slashing damage (war bows) so they would still be able to hurt them, I remember seeing immune to piercing on most skeletons but it's possible they missed putting the info on some tags.

Nearly every Skeleton i have encountered had immunity to piercing

Was that patched in, or is my memory just that bad (neither would surprise me)?

I'm not sure, it's my first playthrough (TB) but every time i see skeletons i have to handle them with mages.

Definately not my experience, but I understand there were some balance changes specifically for TB.

I can also confirm that in my entire playtrough, all, if not all skeletons were immune to piercing. However, just like the op, it never said in the information, like every other immunity has.

Was your playthrough turnbased?

Like many above, all skeletons I have encountered were immune to piercing damage. I did not do the turn based playthrough...yet.

Yep. I just assumed it was normal cus in most RPGs, especially dnd based, skeletons are immune to piercing (and usually resistant to slashing)

[The_Finish]

Unless it got patched, the lowest tier of Skeleton (the ones just called "Skeleton") are not immune, but everything else (Skeleton Warriors/Rogue/Mages/etc) is Immune to piercing damage.

And it was this way the two times I played through the game. But both of those times, when I moused over, it had "Imm." next to the spear symbol, so it may be a bug that isn't showing it.

[Wizard]

Yes, I am playing TurnB. As Finish said, regular skells take damage from evreything, but Skell Warriors appear to be immune. I guess the missing text is an oversight.

[Flashman]

Take a screenshot and show where it says that they are Immune to Poison but not Immune to Piercing. Otherwise you are just looking at the wrong spot on the screen and missing it.

I've had abilities of all sorts deal no penetration (despite there being no additional damage effects in the attack) despite the damage calculation clearly telling me I surpassed the armour by 2 points.
