Break-offs usually give 1 extra core that will always either be the trash drop, Elixir or Blessed Magic Powder.
However, with LUK, there is a chance (1.5% per LUK) for a Luck core to spawn from the Break-off core. In this case, it can contain a rare drop. You can tell that you got a Luck core from Break-off if you see 2 question mark cores after breaking.
In Special raids and non-raids, the break-off will give 3 cores instead (more with LUK). Unlike normal raids, all break-off cores can contain a rare drop.

Special
Special Glas
Remind your party to equip Chain Hooks before starting.
Location: Right Wing
Only by having 2 people use Chain Hooks on his Right Wing at the same time. It is much easier to do after he has been stunned by using 2 Ballista shots.
A good video can be found at:
https://youtu.be/eWfEO6Xz6IQ?t=52
Worth getting: Yes, if your party knows what they are doing it is very fast to do.
Special Havan
Location: Rock covering his heart, then his heart.
Number of Frostbites: 2 for the rock covering his heart and core, 2 more for all parts.
Worth getting: Yes, it is an easy spear target. Once the rock armor breaks you get the cores. (You now do not need to break the heart itself for cores)
Special Colru
Location: Left arm (orange)
Number of Frostbites: 5
Worth getting: Yes, spear his left arm and/or use powerful smashes on it, especially while he is sitting down after being knocked down. Usually breaks just by attacking his left arm.
Special Cromm Cruach
Location: Left shoulder pauldron
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: Yes, however it is hard with Spears/Sticky Bomb (so a lot of parties skip this one). Good with Vella or Kai.
Level 100
Nyle (Neberez)
Location: Wing Chain
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: ?
Cesar
Location: Left shoulder
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: Yes if multiple people in the party brought Sticky Bombs, or Vella or Kai.
Aodhan
Location: Cape
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: Sometimes breaks just by
attacking him.
Marject
Location: Tongue
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: Sometimes breaks just by attacking him from the front, but it helps if there's a Kai or Vella in the party.
Selren
Location: Horns, then Upper arm cuffs and shoes.
Number of Frostbites: 2 for horns and core, 1 more for upper arm cuffs, 1 more for shoes / all parts.
Note: You can break the shoes before arm cuffs, but you must break horns first before you can start breaking other parts.
Worth getting: Sometimes breaks just by attacking her, but it helps if there's a Kai or Vella in the party.
Brilliant Lugh
Location: Shield on his left wrist
Number of Frostbites: 2 (works both before or after he transforms, or 1 before 1 after)
Worth getting: No, unless Vella, seems hard to get with Kai.
Agares
Location: Left shoulder pauldron
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: No, unless Vella or Kai.
Macha
Location: Wings in phase 2 only. There is no break in phase 1, you can flinch her but it doesn't contribute to the break later.
Number of Frostbites: This one regenerates, so if you only use one Frostbite and wait, you will never get it. But if you hit it while waiting, or have 2 Vellas, it requires 2 Frostbites.
Hitting her enough with high knockdown attacks will break, Frostbite/Handbombs can help trigger the break if there has been enough hits in total.
Worth getting: Usually breaks just by attacking her.
Eternal Elchulus
Location: Spear anywhere, but all his spines are damaged after the crash landing.
Only by spearing him 8 times (less if there are less party members) to make him crash land.
Worth getting: Yes definitely, as it also makes him (crash) land faster and he takes a lot of damage.
Claire
Location: Right shoulder pauldron
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: No, unless Vella.
Level 95
Rupacitus
Location: Gills
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: No, unless Vella.
Arcana
Location: Head (goggles)
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: No, unless Kai breaks by naturally aiming for the head or Vella but seems to be hard.
Aes Sidhe
Location: Tail
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: Usually breaks just by attacking him from the back. It helps if you position yourself behind him and attack. Otherwise don't worry about it.
Dullahan
Location: Chest
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: Usually breaks just by attacking her from the front. It helps if there's a Kai or Vella in the party. Otherwise don't worry about it.
Level 90
Abomination
Location: Wings, then Abdomen.
Note: The visuals for the break-off are broken and will not be displayed.
Number of Frostbites: 2 for Wings and core, 1 more for all parts.
Worth getting: Sometimes breaks just by attacking him. If it breaks, it breaks, if not, don't worry about it.
Eochaid
Location: Infection with an eye on his chest
Only Rusted Chain Hook located at the top area after grabbing onto him should be used to break. Normal Chain Hooks require more so are not worth using.
A good guide can be found at:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=rCOR6YtLJNs
Worth getting: Yes if you don't mind losing damage as you will be immobile while you are pulling. However the rest of the party will be able to attack the boss which will also be immobile.
Lugh
Location: Shield on his left wrist
Number of Frostbites: 1
Number of Spears: 2
Worth getting: Yes, with Cat Statue a Crossgun Kai can break with the first attack. Not really worth it with spears as it is hard to hit. Staff can also hit it.
Lord Glas Ghaibhleann
Location: Both armguards
Only Judgement of the Goddess spears located at the side of the map can break equires his barrier to be broken, then two more Judgement of the Goddess for each break.
His right armguard gives bonus core. His left armguard gives bonus mission gold.
Lots of other restrictions: refer to
https://vindictus.gamepedia.com/Lord_Glas_Ghaibhleann#Break_Off_Tips
A good guide can be found at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFqxDjU6uro
Worth getting: No for both
Braha
Location: Jewel on both Braha's chest
Only Fine Small Bombs located at the corner of the map can break. Left (Brown) Braha is easy to break but only gives a small amount of bonus mission gold. Right (Orange) Braha is takes a long time to break, does not give bonus mission, gives extra core.
Worth getting: No for both
Regina
Location: Head piece
Number of Frostbites: 2
Worth getting: No, unless Kai is in the party as he should be aiming for the head regardless.
Niflheim
Succubus Queen
Location: Wing, then feet, spikes on armor, then head piece.
All 4 can only be broken by resisting the nightmare mini-game. Just one break is enough for cores.
Worth getting: Yes, but good luck.
Zecallion
Location: Armor around his head and upper arms
Worth getting: No, Frostbite does not work on it. Only Spears/Sticky Bomb/Kai and is hard to reach.
Royal Army Raids (RAR)
Lavasat
Location: Armor on each of his 4 legs and tail, then spike on his back.
Number of Frostbites: 1 for each of the 6 breaks. The spike can only be broken if the other 5 have been broken and will give a core.
Worth getting: The five pieces of armor will be broken easily just by attacking him. As for the spike, since it is hard to reach, no, unless Vella or Bow Kai.
Thor
