I've never liked it because it's usually an annoying mechanic.
Any games that you actually benefit from breaking weapons?

I'd love to play something that revolved around wearing down your weapons until they finally break into something beneficial, like the same materials used to make that weapon, only infused with battle knowledge or enemy souls or some shit that unlock different upgrade/crafting paths

even better if it actually tracks the history/lineage of anything you make so you can trace your mythic-tier endgame godslayer sword all the way back to a cool sword-shaped stick you found behind your house in the starting village.
