Armor Break

Armor Break is a debuff that temporarily reduces the target's defense stat, causing them to take increased damage from all sources. It is applied by certain heavy weapon attacks, specialized abilities, and Force Palm from the Green Spirit tree.

Applying Armor Break to bosses before unloading damage combos is a key advanced combat strategy. The defense reduction makes subsequent attacks deal significantly more damage during the debuff window. Builds focused on maximizing burst damage should prioritize abilities that apply Armor Break.
