A chief consideration when developing a weapon to use with this new technology, called Dispel, was how accurately it could hit its target. In this regard, it was a matter of course that the sniper rifle used by the most skilled marksmen would be selected for the job.
In order to properly use the Dispel technique, Piercing Light uses special ammunition that can internally store energy. Called a Hollow Round, this bullet contains a special empty space to store energy. Inside is a battery. The energy created within the Dispel device that’s built-in to the firearm gets stored in this bullet and ultimately strikes the enemy. An enemy hit by this bullet will have their buffs neutralized and eliminated.
