What is Hyper Armor?

[SoundPulserino]

I hear it every once in awhile so im curious

It's an effect where you can attack with a heavy or some other move, get hit and not be interrupted. Think of Shugoki's passive or Warlord's heavies, Centurions jump attack etc

Hyper Armor traditionally means that a hero is able to perform an attack with being interrupted by an enemy attack. However, damage of the attack is still applied. In For Honor, you can tell that a enemy has hyper armor by the white flash that will appear on the character model of the hero.

Hyper armor can sometimes be confused with the term Super Armor as well. The two are similar except that Super Armor only allows a hero to take a single hit without being interrupted by an attack. If an attack that has multiple hits is performed though, the second hit will interrupt them.

Practice makes perfect. In a world of long armed individuals, this king lizard has to keep his stubby arms in peak condition to compete against them.

Characters with Hyperarmor:
Berserker, on lights and heavies
Highlander on second light of his Light-Light chain and on all defensive stance heavies + Celtic Curse.
Warlord on all heavies and on leaping heavy
Kensei, on light finishers and side heavy followups.
Warden, in fully charged Shoulderbash.
Shinobi during his kick.

Am I forgetting any?

For most, the hyper armor "Kicks in" mid animation. So its not like their heavies are uninteruptable - but keep an eye out and learn the timings. You dont want to trade into a Highlander top heavy if he is mid swing - You're gonna have a bad time!

You forgot about Shugoki's passive hyperarmor.

Not facing that many Gokis these days, but to my recollection, Shugoki does not have Hyperarmor on any attacks - even the charged Heavy.

Only the most important hyper armor move in the game.

Lawbringer neutral shove.

Also Eagle's Talon but who cares.
