I don't think I understand what hyper armor is. I've seen videos saying the longsword helmbreaker has hyper armor so you can't be interrupted in your attack, but anytime I am touched at any part during helmbreaker I am flinched out of the attack. What is hyper armor?

[u/ErrorEra → u/eatypp]

Hyper armor is just like wearing the Rocksteady mantle. Still take damage but moves aren't canceled.

I don't think helmbreaker has hyper armor the entire move. Maybe they had the armor skill that doesn't let you get knock backed in the air (jump master)
