Impaler

Impaler combines the offensive power of Mighty Horn with a dangerous bleeding effect, making horn-based moves significantly more threatening.

Mechanics

• Damage Boost: All horn-based moves deal 30% more damage (inherited from Mighty Horn)
• Bleed Application: 30% chance to inflict Bleed status on horn-based moves
• Type Immunity: Rock and Ghost types cannot be afflicted with Bleed
• Status Priority: Cannot apply Bleed if target already has a primary status condition

Horn-Based Moves

Examples include:

• Horn Leech
• Smart Strike
• Shocking Jab
• Psyblade
• Hyper Drill
• Fire Glaive
• Psycho Cut

Bleed Status Effect

Bleed is a primary status condition that:

• Prevents affliction of other primary statuses (Burn, Paralysis, Poison, Sleep, Frostbite)
• Rock and Ghost types are immune to Bleed
• Unlike other status conditions, Bleed's specific damage mechanics vary by implementation

Extended In-Game Description

Mighty Horn's 30% damage boost to horn moves combines with a 30% chance to inflict Bleed status. Rock/Ghost types immune. Bleed prevents other status conditions. Stacks multiplicatively with other modifiers.
