Broken Armor is a debuff that causes the player's defense to be halved.

The debuff can be prevented by equipping Armor Polish, Armor Bracing, or an Ankh Shield or Ankh Charm.

Notes

  • Having the Withered Armor debuff and this debuff applied at the same time does not make one have 0 defense, due to the fact that the two debuffs' defense-reducing capabilities stack multiplicatively, leading to a 75% defense reduction instead of the expected 100%.[1]

History

  • Desktop 1.3.0.1: Duration from Armored Skeletons reduced from 5 to 2 minutes.
