Annihilus cosmic rod removed by armor break ?

xLunatiXx

So I was playing arena, my OG spidey vs annihilus. I landed an armor break on him and noticed his rod was gone, text saying its mine, and 3 fury buffs on him. Checked the description and nothing about it.
Any idea ?

I see. Armor break can remove armor but isnt it too far fetched to consider it an entire nullify mechanic?

xLunatiXx

Can we get a confirmation from the devs it is intended ?

Hey there, I can check with the rest of the team and get back to you with what i find out.

Any update from the team @Kabam Zibiit ?

I was able to confirm with the rest of the team that, when and Armor Break is placed, it attempts to Nullify Armor Up Buffs, so this should count as a Nullify for the purposes of Annihilus' abilities. The team is reviewing ways to make this more clear in game, but this may take some time, given the number of Armor Breaks in the game.

So if what you're saying is right, placing an armor champ on a node that reduces the chance to nullify by 90% should reduce the chance for them from getting armor break by 90% ? @Kabam Zibiit

Armour break is a debuff so it will always apply unless the opponent is debuff/armour break immune or has aar ofc. On a node that has -90% chance to nullify, the armour break will still apply just that if there's is an armour up buff present on the enemy it will have -90% chance to be removed. At least that's what I think
