== Notes ==
* Cracked Armor takes effect before the [[Effect stacking#Effect caps|armor cap]].
* There are no [[upgrade component]]s that influence the [[duration]] of cracked armor, as there are for most other [[condition]]s.
* For a maximum level character, an [[armor rating|AR]] of 60 is considered the zero point: An armor rating of 60 offers no [[damage]] reduction or increase to the listed damage of a weapon or skill.
* Unlike most other conditions, cracked armor is almost always applied by caster classes, while most of the skills that benefit from it (most notably Body Shot and Body Blow) are in physical classes.
* Cracked Armor uses the same animation as [[weakness]].
* Opponents suffering the full effect of cracked armor will take 41% more damage.
** It often has little or no effect on party members who are [[caster]]s, since their maximum base armor rating is 60; it almost always has some effect on [[martial]] classes.
** It almost always reduces protections offered by armor-boosting equipment [[mod]]s, such as ''of Defense'' or [[Shaman's Insignia]].
** It almost always reduces the bonuses of armor-boosting skills like [[Armor of Frost]].
** Since cracked armor gives a percentage-based increase in damage, targets with AR 80 (the lowest rating that receives the full effect) will suffer the highest ''amount'' of increased damage.

{{bug|Cracked armor will reduce armor ratings as low as that of the target's [[armor calculation|Core armor]], if that value is below 60.}}

{{bug|Cracked armor has no effect if you use a skill or combination of skills or effects that boosts your armor by +46 or more.}}

== Trivia ==
* This is the only [[condition]] added to the game after the release of [[Prophecies]]. Only a few older skills were updated to make use of it: [[Weaken Armor]], [[Mark of Fury]], [[Lightning Orb]] (prior to the [[Feedback:Game updates/20120913|September 13, 2012 update]]), [[Staggering Force]], [[Rending Aura]], and [[Spirit Rift]] (each of these pre-dates the release of [[Eye of the North]]).
