To my reviewers: Please note that it's not just Naofumi that has stats. It was established at the start that his shields have stats as well. So by making shields with some form of weapon attached, it only makes sense that they would boost his attack. Also, if piercing weapons sent into vital organs don't cause a critical hit that inflicts massive damage, then I'm calling bullshit on it.
