Armor
Enemy armor plates have their own durability. Hitting an intact plate damages the plate; 25% of the damage remaining after hit-zone, critical-hit, Exposed and shield effects reaches the enemy's health.
Breaking the plate removes its protection for later hits. Armor-breaking modifiers affect damage to the plate; critical hits still respect armor protection.
Player shield capacity is a separate mechanic.
