He can also cause rain through one of his Set Skills.

Strategy
Piekron is quite similar in playstyle to Yarida. If you've used Yarida for a while, you've used Piekron. However, Piekron's playstyle is more defence/support based.
The equipment Piekron can use is arguably some of the most unique out of the whole Spear Class Tree; He is the only Spear Class who can equip Daggers. He can also equip shields like Charibasa and Kibadda.
Be wary that, despite carrying a shield, Piekron gets no innate Defence. You'll have to get that with custom equipment.
Piekron's Hero Mode, which can reach a maximum of x2 damage, can actually reach x2.5 if he equips Charibasa's "Team Aid 1" Set Skill, x3.0 if he equips Charibasa's "Team Aid 2" Set Skill, and x3.5 if he equips Charibasa's "Team Aid 1" and "Team Aid 2" Set Skills.
Good classes to level up alongside Piekron are Yarida and Taterazay. The former provides his "X Spears" abilities, allowing Piekron to throw more spears with a single attack, and the latter provides his "Energy Field" abilities, giving Piekron a great defence against melee attacks.
Piekron is the only Uberhero to wield a Unique Weapon (Galapagos Shield) in the Patapon 3 Tips instead of their default weapons.
Piekron, along with Yarida, has the lowest health of all spear based Uberheroes.
Despite the Spear Boom Class Skill description about a "lightning strikes wherever the spear lands", Piekron may throw Daggers to deal the same effect.
Piekron and Myamsar are similar in a way that both can equip Daggers, and how their Hero Modes are activated using the PON CHAKA drum command.
You must have 'Rain Dance' activated on your Set Skills or be on a rainy map to be able to use Piekron's Spear BOOM class skills. This is the only case where you would have to have a Set Skill activated in order for the Spear BOOM class skills to work.
Piekron, Taterazay, and Charibassas are the only heroes in the game with Hero Modes that affect heroes in a global range.
When fighting online against Dark Heros, it is very much recommended you unequip rain dance, if you are looking to utilize just lightning against them. This is because Dark Heroes are unaffected or "immune" to lightning from spear boom. On the Dark hero player's screen, the will not see any lightning nor take any damage from it. It is unknown if this is a glitch or intentional as a similar glitch happens to Charibassa.
