there's Shed Armor, Gain Speed
Working on cleaning up List Of Shows That Need Summary
Is there a trope for when someone sacrifices defense to turn themselves into a glass cannon/extremely fast/whatever benefit they desire?
Some, but nowhere close to all, examples include: The Scorpion Charms from Elden Ring, The ability "Weak Armor" from Franchise/Pokemon, and Silver Chariot taking it's armor off in Jojos Bizarre Adventure.
If it doesn't exist, I think "Armor Shed" would be a sick name for it.
