The {{name|possessive}} attack does not need to penetrate to apply this effect.{{Code Reference|class=QudzuMelee}} Organic materials such as wood, and [[Lacquered]] items, do not rust and can be used freely with no risk. Alternatively, items stored inside of [[Chest|Chests]] are also protected from rusting.
