Invulnerable Attack	comment	Everyone knows That One Boss is so hard (among many other reasons) because he's only vulnerable for five seconds out of every sixty. Won't he be pleasantly surprised when he realizes the Player Character has learned to do this too! There are two kinds of Invulnerable Attack; the first happens in games that have a Charged Attack mechanic, and while it's charging the player is invulnerable to enemy attacks (though he might still suffer knockback). The second is when the charged attack executes, so while the overly long CGI plays out the player can take a nuke to the face without flinching. The charge part or attack part might make the performer lose their collision hitbox/hurtbox while they're covered in active hitboxes (i.e those that hit things). The aversion is pretty common though, that being hit during the charge up or execution to the attack does cause damage and may even interrupt it altogether. Usually it's far, far more common for a charged attack to leave you motionless and vulnerable - this is usually an intentional counterbalance to charge up attacks being more powerful. A savvy player can use this to "block" otherwise unblockable and unavoidable area attacks. Even if the boss is also immune to the charged attack during his own "unavoidable attack", the player can save a boatload of health. Similarly, part of beating most bosses involved players learning to dodge or avoid the parts of their attack pattern where they're invulnerable. Contrast Mercy Invincibility. May result during a Meditation Powerup. See also Unblockable Attack.

Invulnerable Attack / int_1081aa34	comment	The Autopilot item in early WipEout installments would take over control of your ship when activated, turning it into an AI drone for a few seconds. In this state, it would ignore wall collisions. You could literally head directly towards a crash barrier or plummet towards the ground, activate autopilot at the last moment and flawlessly pull out of the dive or clip right through the wall on your way back to the ideal line. Horribly averted in recent titles where you will actually crash in this situation; not only that, but the autopilot does not know how to activate the airbrakes around difficult corners, which makes you wish the semi-godmode was reinstated.

On hard mode, you'll probably defeat all enemies in large groups with either this or the Coup de GrÃ¢ce. (Unfortunately, Giant Mooks can interrupt this attack even though normal ones can't, and it has an Overly Long Fighting Animation, so fights with both giant and normal enemies are the only legitimately difficult battles on hard mode.)

His drive allows him to do a special attack, and there's a nice, long second during each of these attacks that he's completely invulnerable to damage. If he gets hit during this, and the attack is successfully blocked, you can teleport behind the enemy and hit them there. Jin Kisaragi has something similar with a few of his attacks. Iron Tager has some as well, most clearly with his Magnatech Wheel Distortion Drive, and has been given more invincible attack frames as part of his Continuum Shift buffs.

During their charge animation, they are invulnerable. By timing it correctly, the player can avoid a lot of powerful attacks, especially with the Havoc, whose charge is not instant but instead causes him to hop into the air briefly using his jetpack before he charges.

Invulnerable Attack / int_935a39be	comment	In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, characters are invincible while using their Final Smash. Interestingly, a couple of characters have another attack that provides a brief period of invincibility during execution, but these attacks aren't nearly so spectacular; in Captain Olimar's case, it's his whistle. A few Final Smashes do leave the player open to taking damage during its duration, but prevent any knockback (such as Bowser's Giga transformation). Ike's normal Aether attack works this way too. Marth is invincible during the first 5 frames of his Dolphin Slash special attack. The first hitbox comes out on frame 5, so the attack is uninterruptible. Most of the non-Final Smash attacks don't render the character invincible; rather, it makes the attacker un''flinch''able, so that no matter how much damage they take, their attack won't be interrupted and the attacker won't be sent flying. Notably, even though final smashes makes you invincible/unflinching, you can get damaged if the attack is countered. Only a handful of characters can counter: Ike, Marth, Roy, Lucina, Lucario, Greninja, Palutena, Little Mac and Shulk If they get hit while doing the brief "counter" pose, all damage they would take is negated and the attacker gets hurt instead, unlike a normal shield, where only damage is negated. Most Final Smashes such as Mario's fireballs or the Star Fox characters' Landmaster summon can't be countered, but direct melee attacks like Ike's Great Aether can. It's extremely humiliating to get your presumably invincible instant-kill technique slapped right back in your face. Banjo & Kazooie's Wonderwing special has them do a Dash Attack that's leaves them completely invincible for the whole duration. However, it requires one golden feather to use, and you only have 5 of these per stock. It can be stopped by grabs.

Invulnerable Attack / int_c1caa781	comment	Lightning Bolt from Mega Man & Bass ends up becoming one of the most useful weapons in the game, especially for Mega, entirely for its invincibility frames as opposed to the underwhelming damage it deals on most bosses. The attack animation is long and you're invulnerable for all of it, including the charge up. These invincibility frames help immensely with the final boss's fast and erratic bullet patterns, make King's first phase possible to beat by standing in the centre of the room and not moving at all if you have the energy saver and in the case of the King Jet fight as Mega it's almost required to beat the boss since if you use it in mid-air you will hover in place for the duration of the attack animation, allowing you to make otherwise impossible jumps caused by the King Jet destroying platforms while still being safe from other attacks.

Invulnerable Attack / int_cba48b98	comment	God Hand has a glitch that makes the player invulnerable during a charged attack, and only during a charged attack. If you pull off a contextual stun-move, Gene will be invincible while performing it. Except for Stomp.

Invulnerable Attack / int_d556dc75	comment	In M.U.G.E.N, this is known as "Infinite Priority", meaning that a character has an attack hitbox but no collision hitbox (aka hurtbox) when attacking, and is therefore immune to attacks. Obviously, this is one of the aspects that makes a character a Game-Breaker.

Invulnerable Attack / int_e26905cd	comment	The Special Arts in Tekken Revolution have several frames of invincibility at the beginning, signified by their blur effect. They can be hit/thrown out of with good timing and a clash between two players using Special Arts will usually go to the one who used their attack second.

Invulnerable Attack / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: The Leaf Bracer ability introduced in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix turns all Cure spells into these. Birth by Sleep includes a number of high-level attacks with invincibility frames. Almost all of them returned in Dream Drop Distance, but without the invincibility. It also includes Shotlocks, which make your character fully invulnerable while they execute.
