These weapons were designed to defend Themyscira, their enchanted island home, against external threats. The Amazons imbued each Aegis Piercer with dimensional properties, allowing it to function as an extraordinary weapon in their efforts to maintain peace and safety. | [b]TYPE:[/b] | Marbal Crossbow | [b]LOCATION:[/b] | Most Aegis Piercers remain safeguarded on Themyscira, which the Amazons use to protect their island. However, a few have been smuggled off the island and sold on the black market. These stolen weapons have found their way into the hands of various unsavory individuals and organizations, making them highly sought-after artifacts across the globe. | [b]NOTABLE OWNERS:[/b] | Over the years, various Aegis Piercers have been used by members of the Amazon tribe, but specific notable owners remain undocumented due to the secretive nature of their society. Some of these artifacts have fallen into the hands of unknown wielders who possess great skill. | [b]ABSTRACTION-GRANTING:[/b] | No. |[/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Aegis Piercer is a formidable crossbow constructed from enchanting stone marble, giving it an elegant yet robust appearance. At first glance, it appears too heavy to wield effectively; however, the weapon's design allows for effortless use, even by those who might seem physically inadequate. This versatility is one reason Aegis Piercers are a standard issue for the Amazons, as warriors of all shapes and sizes can utilize them. One of the most remarkable features of the Aegis Piercer is its seemingly limitless supply of arrows. An arrow materializes with a simple trigger pull and is fired at the intended target. This functionality gives the wielder a distinct advantage in combat situations, ensuring they are never at a loss for ammunition. The arrows can bypass defenses, allowing them to reach targets even through solid barriers. This capability makes Aegis Piercers versatile in ranged attacks, as they can effectively neutralize threats behind walls or obstacles. The arrows are imbued with a dimensional traveling ability, allowing them to phase momentarily between different dimensions. This power enables the arrows to ignore conventional laws of physics and logic, allowing them to penetrate armor or even strike multiple targets in a single shot. The user can send an arrow through a barrier or target an enemy hiding behind another. Despite their formidable capabilities, the arrows of the Aegis Piercer are functionally regular. They are supernaturally armor-piercing but lack additional magical properties. This distinction means that while the arrows can bypass defenses, they must still strike their target to be effective. Users of the Aegis Piercer must possess skill and accuracy to maximize the weapon's potential, ensuring that each shot counts in the face of danger. Over the years, the Amazons have relied heavily on Aegis Piercers as standard weapons for defending their island.
