The Shardplate helmet has a face shield with a horizontal eye slit for visibility. When lowered, the shield becomes translucent to the wearer, but not totally clear, similar to dirty glass. The eye slit is therefore still needed for full vision, but even the partial translucence is very useful.{{book ref|sa1|13}} In some instances, the face shield can adapt to protect the wearer's vision from the brightness of a lightning strike.{{book ref|sa2|81}} It is implied that when closed, the edges of the visor meld into a single, unbroken surface with the rest of the helm in a small puff of mist.
Shardplate has the ability to use Stormlight to regenerate itself when damaged.{{book ref|sa1|15}} If sections of a suit of armor are destroyed or abandoned, they can be regenerated later by using Stormlight from the suit's gemstones. Once the Shardplate regenerates an abandoned piece, the previous piece will crumble to dust.
Due to its heavily Invested nature, Shardplate protects the user from most forms of [[Investiture]], including Surgebinding, though this effect is weakened if parts, such as the helm, have been removed.{{wob ref|3830}} It is not possible to use any lashings against someone armored in Shardplate. It is also not possible for a wielder of an Honorblade to Surgebind while wearing Plate, due to interference from the gemstones.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} At least some of the original Knights Radiant were able to Surgebind while wearing their armor.{{book ref|sa1|19}}
