The Defense Ignore effect is additive to the Critical trait (as well as Hypersonic Stab's innate Defense Ignore), allowing skills with this trait to do far higher damage than any other traits to enemies who's defense cannot be reduced otherwise, such as during many endgame enemies' hyper armor.
- This is one of the the few known sources where defense ignore is additively stacked.
