What causes force to not give any knockback?

[Scaryowl]

Was being a host and getting ganked by 3 reds earlier; someone using ringed knight spear was taking 0 knockback from repeated force casts so I got dead.

do hyperarmor weapon arts make force do literally nothing?

[Miromett]

If they have enough of a poise modifier on their WA Force does nothing.

A good example being me rushing a force spammer on a dangerous slippy area while spamming perseverance on the caestus. The one who will fall first being the force spammer and not the perseverance spammer.

I was under the impression that you literally cannot stagger perseverance, though?
I know you can stagger other hyper armor weapons, but this man was taking literally nothing from 2 point blank force casts

did you try hitting him with any melee weapon to see if he'd take damage?

It's probable that he was desync'ing and was unable to see what you were doing but watching your character slide around in T pose.

that sounds plausible, since he had the phantom range to put chinese invaders to shame

I'm pretty sure that, unless they are using a WA with a lot of HA (and maybe even then), Force should always at least stagger them.

p.s. of course unless they have perseverance active.

also it's not like force will do much to deter a bunch of invaders trying to kill you unless it's near a cliff or something, since it deals absolute 0 damage most of them will just attempt to roll through it (not that hard if you see it coming) and keep pressuring you since getting hit by it is of little consequence, unless it was with the intention of pushing them into the abyss you shouldn't be using it either.
