Pierce

Pierce Statistics Class: Thief Starting HP: 220 Starting STR: 45 Starting MAG: 30 Starting DEF: 45

Pierce is one of the Characters in the game The Metronomicon. He is a Thief.

Pierce joins the party after the boss of The Haunted Kingdom is beaten, at level 19.

Strategy

As befits his nature as a thief, Pierce has abilities geared towards increasing loot and loot drop chance, making him an almost ubiquitous choice while taking on sidequests and missions requiring a specific amount of Loot to be stolen.

For actual use, however, Pierce is rather niche. Firewater takes a while to actually damage the enemy; Dive does have a chance of failing to deal damage, Reversal is hard to use effectively most of the time (but pairs well with Bouncy Bodypaint), and Shakedown isn't useful in the endgame once all items are obtained. Even still, abilities like Backstab are effective, especially if they lead off into other abilities like Bloodhound - the spike damage is a bonus.
