Defense Break

The ability to bypass any kind of defenses. Sub-power of Absolute Attack.

Also Called

 * Armor Piercing

Capabilities
The user is able to bypass an opponent's defenses and do equal damage no matter how strong, durable, magically-enhanced or seemingly impenetrable the defense is.

Applications

 * Near Absolute Attack
 * Crushing
 * Impale
 * Internal Rupturing
 * Shield Penetration

Variations

 * Defensive Damage
 * Shield Removal

Limitations

 * May not work against on Absolute Defense.
 * Some targets may be able to withstand more damage anyway, such as if the target has Regenerative Healing Factor or if it is very large.
 * If the target is immune to the attribute of the attack (such as Intangibility or Spatial-Temporal Lock) instead of defense-based resistance, then it is useless.
