    A FULL backup will not break the log chain LSN if you dont specify the COPY_ONLY option. The only time a log backup is dependent on the FULL backup is when it is the first ever FULL and log backup for the database, or if the database has been changed from Full to Simple to Full.

    The only base a FULL backup resets is the differential base

    Full backups never break the log chain (LSN sequence), no matter what options are specified.
