2 pierce from surge vs luke's +1 block

By vince1234, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

just wondering if the pierce 2 from a surge pierces luke's inherent block?

thanks

Yes.

Each Pierce (whatever the source) let's you ignore one block (whatever the source) at step 7 of the attack.

RRG: If the number of the block results is smaller than the Pierce value, the excess Pierce value has no effect.
