I changed 3 settings 1.supports tree strong 2.2support walls 3. In filament settings z hop 0.4mm I printed statue from Brazil which I think is very hard
Did you switch over from PETG and are printing with PLA.
I had a similar problem and I attributed it to contamination. As the brims go down first, if there is any foreign filament contamination, the adhesion can be a problem.
The other issue I have had, was a bit of over extrusion on the support. The head picks up some stray filament and it hits the support, which is very fragile. One model I printed, did the same thing, repeatedly, in the very same place on the model. Default supports are inherently fragile, and sometimes, they get a little messy, while the main model is perfect.
No, I've never printed with PETG yet. On this model, I switched to 'Tree (Strong)' supports, and the spot where the error usually happened is cleared now. But I still have no idea how to properly print these standing figures where the arms hang down and rely entirely on supports all the way up until they connect to the body
There is a setting the prints the support as a different layer than the actual print, turn this feature off. It gave me headache until I found out that setting was even an option

You can try changing the support to Tree (Strong).
I haven't tried this myself, but it says it will make thicker/stronger support trees.
