A question about armor/armor break

Okay so if you had a armor break then proced armor up would they cancel themselves out?

Not really. If the opponent has an armor up buff, an armor break would remove it and reduce opponent's armor.
If the armor up buff triggers after the armor break, then it would deppend on the potency of each. For example, the armor up buff can provide X armor rating, while the armor break debuff can provide a reducion of Y armor rating.

Just to amplify a bit, armor break acts like an armor debuff, reducing armor rating in the same way armor up effects increase armor rating. But armor breaks in general have a special extra effect on the target in that one armor break debuff will remove one armor up buff from the target as well. This happens only when the armor break is applied; once the debuff is there, it is just a normal debuff like any other and doesn't directly affect any other armor up buffs that land afterward.
