Notes:

- However, it works completely independent from Javelin's pierce, fully stacking with it.
- The bonus damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus and is magical damage.
- Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to the unit's attack damage.
- It is not considered by lifesteal, crit or cleave.
- It can be reduced only by flat reductions (e.g. magical damage barrier).
- Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.
- Adds an average of 56 magical damage to every attack.
- Pierce uses pseudo-random distribution.
- Attacks which proc Pierce cannot miss.

Although it weighs several tons, the Monkey King can change its size at will so he may shrink it and tuck it behind his ear, or grow exponentially and duplicate into an infinite number of individual rods.
- Monkey King's default weapon model is a Monkey King Bar.
