Can gladiators deflect interrupt highlanders hyper armor chain heavies? Or is berserker the only deflect that interrupt highlanders hyper armor heavies?
Orochi, Bezerkers and i think Shinobi can interrupt hyper armour as far as i know. Pk and Shaman kinda roll with it as they can dodge faster and deflect the next heavy (you can get some pretty sick deflect combos on hito). Shaolin I think rolls into his hit chain and ki stance, and might be able to roll into crushing counter, depending on circumstance, I haven't mained him so I'm not certain. Valkyrie does interrupt hyper armour but has a unique interaction with Shaman zones and zerk zones due to her dodge properties and can struggle but otherwise should be fine. Unfortunately for glad, he has no deflect options against hyper armour, as it does not interrupt. As such glad can really struggle against beserker and now I think highlander as a starting neutral hyper armour on react to deflect or even skewer in general. Sometimes with delaying you can get the skewer but I feel it's not guaranteed. Tldr: No, and From what I know Zerk, Valk, Orochi and maybe Shinobi can interrupt hyper armour.
@@jakec9352 PK can dodge after a deflect? I'm used to seeing PK getting smacked with the hyper armor heavy after a deflect. Which isn't a great trade. Thank you for the info.
@wierd-al_3336 yeap, I practiced against hito with it, it's pretty fun. It shuts down their brains, when in practice. In training it's fun practice for timing.
