- Slayer Weapons deal 130 damage.
- Pierce gains Defiance (see conditional upgrades).
- Slayers can now equip two of the Accessories listed below.

Slayer Accessories: Each use costs 30 Rage.
- Environment Guard: Always Active type. Negates damage from Sandstorms, Snowstorms, and other weather effects that deal damage. There will be some custom weather. Moera's Psystorm is not one of them. Flying cars and hotdog stands are different than weather.
- Holy Ring: Always Active type. Restores 5% of MaxHP per turn.
- Melting Beam: Activation type. Halves the DEF of the target before you strike. DEF is only halved for your strike and not those of any other unit.
- Corruption Beam: Activation type. Halves the SDEF of the target before you strike. SDEF is only halved for your strike and not those of any other unit.
- Dire Power: Always Active type. 10% crit chance.
- Begrudger: Activation type. 100% counter on any enemy that attacks the user.

AB said he might come up with some more accessories that work like pokemon abilities, but these are going to be the accessories available to Pierce. Basically, I shaved off some of them to make room for more cool shit in this upgrade.

Demon Half (Level 1)

- Aura Growth increases all statistics of Slayers and Pokebrids by 15 and Pokemon by 5.

Too many stat boosts, right?
