how does highlander's hyper armor work?

Nowhere's written how it works.
Doesn't really negate a hit when i'm swinging at all.

Hyperarmor caused by moves doesn't reduce damage, it makes it so you don't get staggered when you get hit.

Shoguki's armor works for me, but highlander's doesn't. I almost never shine white.
