Shatter

Shatter

"Successful attacks destroy the target's armor."

100% chance of activation upon successful strike

Remarkable Interactions

1. Armor will Shatter upon the first successful hit even if the unit does not take damage (See: Shield & Divine Shield).
2. Armor that is Shattered can be Repaired.
3. If a Unit has its armor Shattered then dies and is Resurrected, it will return with full armor. 

Notable Rulesets

1. Armored Up: Shatter your opponent's armor and attack their health stat directly - sooner than you would otherwise.
2. Weak Magic: Your opponent may believe that extra armor will extend their lives as magic must hit armor before hitting health. Shatter their illusion of safety!

Notable Abilities

1. Inspire - All friendly Units receive +1 Melee attack. Shatter your opponent's armor and kill them with a single well-placed strike!
2. Corrosive Ward - Prevent your opponent from Repairing Shattered armor via Corrosive Ward!
3. Flank - Looking to protect your melee Unit from Shatter? Consider placing a Unit with Flank in the first position - taking the brunt of attacks while your Unit in the second position stays safe with its armor intact.
