Armor Break (Final Fantasy X status)

Armor Break is a status in Final Fantasy X. Armor Break reduces the target's Defense to 0 and nullifies Armored status, meaning the player can more easily damage enemies that usually require Piercing weapons. Its magic counterpart is Mental Break. There is no change to the affected unit's model when the status is in effect. It cannot be protected against but it can be removed.
