The breastplate is a central support structure. Destroying the breastplate alone will disable a Shardbearer.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
The armor is also incredibly heavy. Though it will protect the wearer from a fall, the fall can still damage the Plate. One tactic used against Shardbearers is to put them in a position where their great weight will cause whatever they're walking on to fall apart, dropping the Shardbearer.
Another common tactic is to bind the Shardbearer with ropes. Though a Shardbearer's strength is enhanced, enough people holding him back with ropes can slow him down enough for blows to be struck.
In conjunction with the above, the one vulnerable spot on Plate is the eye slit. With luck, skill, or by somehow restraining the Shardbearer, a knife or arrow can be stabbed through this slot; at that specific spot, many wounds will be instantly fatal.
