Invulnerability
Overview
Invulnerability is a Resistance powerset. It is characterized by high all around resistance compared to other defense sets. Tankers have access to this set as one of their primary powersets, while Brutes and Scrappers can use it as one of their secondary powersets.
Invulnerability gives you incredible abilities to resist damage and other effects. Its resistance to physical damage is superior, however, Invulnerability offers no protection from Psionic attacks.

History
- Unyeilding was originally called Unyielding Stance and caused the character to be immobilized, a true stance. This was changed in Issue 3.[1]
- Unyeilding has -Defense which was compensated for by Invincibility's +Defense, and countered by Tough Hide.
