Cancel Ignore Penetration

Cancel Ignore Penetration is an offensive counter-stat that reduces enemy Ignore Penetration on a 1:1 basis. It prevents defensive targets from stripping your effective Penetration, but can only reduce enemy Ignore Penetration to 0, never below.

How It Works

This interaction works in this order:

• Effective Enemy Ignore Penetration = max(0, Enemy Ignore Penetration - Your Cancel Ignore Penetration)
• Effective Penetration = Your Penetration - Effective Enemy Ignore Penetration

Cancel Ignore Penetration only reduces enemy Ignore Penetration. If your value exceeds the target's Ignore Penetration, the excess does not become additional penetration.

Typical Use

This stat is most useful when your target has enough Ignore Penetration to reduce your effective penetration in a meaningful way. It is generally more valuable on builds that already rely on penetration as an important part of their damage output.

Notes and Tips

• Offensive Counter-Stat: It reduces enemy Ignore Penetration, not defense directly
• Preserves Existing Penetration: It is most useful when you already have meaningful Penetration
• Cannot Create Bonus Penetration by Itself: Excess value stops at removing enemy Ignore Penetration
• Useful Against High-Resistance Targets: It helps prevent enemy Ignore Penetration from pushing your effective penetration too low or below zero
