Shardplate provides protection from impact caused by a weapon or from a fall.{{book ref|sa1|12}} The individual wearing the plate is able to feel impacts from within the armor, but their force is greatly reduced. The sensation of touch, however, is transferred through the fingers of the gauntlets allowing the wearer to feel fine detail.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
Shardplate differs from ordinary armor in that it can stop blows from [[Shardblade
Shardplate does not dent or bend. Instead, sections of the armor can crack after heavy or repeated impact and will eventually fail.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} When a section of the armor fails, it will explode into bits of molten metal. Damaged sections will leak stormlight. While enough leaks will deplete the gemstones and cause the armor to lock up, individual leaks, even large ones, will eventually "seal over" on their own, preventing further loss of stormlight, even if the damage hasn't fully healed yet.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
