BRAK is a significantly better single-target Death Spell than RUB: it's more accurate, and it's Poison-elemental, making it useful against a different set of enemies. It's even got a good chance of killing TIAMAT the first time you fight her! It's far from the worst level 7 Spell.

Break is a significantly better single-target KO Spell than Reaper: it's more accurate, and it's Poison-elemental, making it useful against a different set of enemies. It's even got a good chance of killing Tiamat the first time you fight her! It's not the best Spell, but it beats out some of the other level 7 stinkers.

Break is a pretty pointless Spell, not because it's bad, but because Toad is strictly better. Like Toad, Monsters hit by Break are KO'd immediately, and the Spells share an Element, but Toad is more accurate. Thus there really isn't any reason to bother with this Spell. Used against the party, Stone requires an even higher level Esuna to cure than Toad, so keep your Gold Needles ready against enemies that cast Break.

Break is more accurate and costs less MP than its sibling Spell Doom for the same overall effect. However, many more Monsters are immune to Petrify than Wound, and Wound immunity prevents Break from working anyway.
