The target's modifiers to Damage taken apply after their mitigation, so Pre-mitigation Damage also does not include the effects of those modifiers. However, modifiers that cause the target to take damage as a different Type occur before mitigating the damage, so are included in Pre-mitigation Damage.

Enemies with Riven Armour cannot get their Armour BrokenSome Skills, Items, Support Gems and other effects can Break Armour, which lowers a target's Armour by a specified amount. If this brings the target's Armour value to 0, their Armour is Fully Broken for 12 seconds, or 4 seconds for players. On top of not benefitting from Armour, non-player targets with Fully Broken Armour take 20% increased Physical damage from Hits.

Players Break 3 times Armour against Normal Monsters and 2 times Armour against Magic Monsters. further.
