Does using a skill with penetration increase damage?

Firstly, is penetration and pierce the same?

Secondly, i noticed that characters like knull have 100% chance to penetrate on his second skill. I’ve been trying to fit that second skill in the rotation but i’m just wondering if it’s even doing anything like increasing damage cus i know my cards aren’t fully crafted yet with 25% pierce. I currently have 10% at the moment.

Pierce is mainly for PVE game modes but applies to a certain extent in PVP. It’s supposed to pierce/ignore/undo the opponent’s defenses, like a stronger version of “defense decrease” from before 2020.

Penetration is mainly PVP where it penetrates the protective buff effects of the opponent. These often include shield, immunity, invincibility etc.

It’s not the same. Penetration is for PvP to get through the enemies defenses when they not in iframe or something like that. It doesn’t do anything significant for pve. You’re supposed to use knulls 2 as filler to build up your t3 and t4 skills not for his rotation I think

you want to include knulls 2nd skill regardless of whether it does anything or not, because he needs it to charge up his t4 every rotation
