''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' distributed [[armor]] to a wide range of the cast, particularly damage-based armor, and mostly to heavyweights such as {{SSBU|Bowser}}. It also introduced [[Belly Super Armor]] to {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, furthering its presence in the game. It was also made more varied and fleshed out, with more forms of armor reducing damage or having different functions.

==Damage-based armor==
==Damage-based Armor==
Characters under the effect of damage-based armor will suffer hitlag and damage when hit, but not flinch or take knockback unless the attack deals enough percentage to go over a defined threshold. These are non-cumulative by default, meaning multiple weaker hits will not add up to reach the threshold and break the armor; if an attack's armor is cumulative, it'll be specified.

==Knockback-based armor==
==Knockback-based Armor==
These are attacks that have armor up to a certain knockback threshold. This means that armor can be more easily broken the more damaged the player is and is effectively non-existent against a strong enough attack.

| {{SSBU|Yoshi}} || [[Fighter ability|Midair jump]] || 1-44 || 120 KB || Classified as a [[fighter ability]]. This unique armor has been dubbed "Subtractive Armor" by the Yoshi playerbase, since the knockback applied to Yoshi after breaking through the armor is significantly lowered, as the armor subtracts the KB needed to break it before letting the rest go to Yoshi. Technically, the hit that breaks the armor sees its total knockback reduced by up to 120 when applied to Yoshi. The minimum knockback an attack that breaks the armor can do is 60 KB.

Unlike all other attacks on this list where the character takes full knockback if the threshold is exceeded, The attack's knockback will be reduced by 120 KB, with only the remainder being applied to Yoshi. The armor will only break if said remainder is more than 0. This allows Yoshi to survive attacks that would KO most other characters in the same situation simply by double jumping. The minimum knockback an attack that breaks the armor can do is 60 KB.

==Super armor==
==Super Armor==
Characters under the effect of super armor will suffer hitlag and damage when hit, but they will not flinch, nor take knockback. Super armor, by default, does not break, as no amount of percentage or launch force is enough to beat it. However, super armor does not protect fighters from [[windbox]]es, while [[grab]]s and certain [[Final Smash]]es can ignore super armor completely.
Characters under the effect of Super Armor will suffer hitlag and damage when hit, but not flinch nor take knockback. Super Armor, by default, does not break, no amount of percentage or launch force is enough to beat it. The only way for a Super Armored to break is if it collides with another Super Armored attack with a higher [[priority]] at the point of contact.


<!--- Byleth does not have Super Armor on Aymr, see Damage-based Armor list. That's an early meta rumour. --->

| {{SSBU|Kirby}} || [[Hammer Flip]] (Fully charged grounded) || 11-17 || Landing during the startup of the move grants Kirby the armor frames of the grounded version, but landing on frame 11 or after will not, so the player has to land before the armor frames for it to function.

Like the armor, these intangibility frames work if Kirby lands during the move.

Doing so will begin the Reverse Exploding Side Kick animation, which has a fixed 43 frames of startup and armor on frames 34-46, regardless of how long Mii Brawler waited to reverse the move. What that means is the first active frame of Reversed Exploding Side Kick can be anywhere from frame 52 to 73, and the armor frames from 42-54 to 63-75.

*[[Belly Super Armor]] - {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[fighter ability]], granting him his own unique form of armor for specific attacks.  
{{Main|Belly Super Armor}}
{{SSBU|King K. Rool}} has his own unique variation of damage-based armor named '''Belly Super Armor'''. This armor uses a stamina system and does not passively regenerate. King K. Rool's belly will eventually have visible cracks to indicate that armor is close to its threshold. The armor has 18.01 HP, and any damage received to the armor is halved between itself and King K. Rool, effectively giving it 36.02 HP. If the threshold is reached, a [[Special Zoom]] effect plays and King K. Rool behaves as if his [[shield break|shield was broken]].
