Say I have a normal energy blast bought as 8d6 with 8 points of piercing (bought as normal PD since the attack uses normal PD) Total cost 56 points.
Now assume the character is blasting an automation that has 16 res ED and no normal ED (Everything upgraded to resistant.
Do I get to apply the 8 points of piercing to reduce the defence against the attack to 8?
The attack still affects resistant defense, it just counts as PD. Does the Peircing bought with it count as well or does the automation get the full 16 res PD against the attack because the Piercing was bought at the 2 point level for nonresistant PD?
If the case is the Piercing does not apply could I have bought the power with the 3 point res PD for 24 points for a total of 64 points so that it would affect resistant defences as well even though the attack does not affect resistant defences.
Not sure the rules explain this well enough unless I am missing something.
