This is a question I kind of found myself wrapped up in. Which would be a better definition for when you can't be hit? For example, when a Brawler uses Screw Punch, he can't be hit. Is that invincibility or invulnerability?
Definitions :
Invincible : in·vin·ci·ble (n-vns-bl)
adj.
Incapable of being overcome or defeated; unconquerable.
Invulnerable : (n-vlnr--bl)
adj.
1. Immune to attack; impregnable.
2. Impossible to damage, injure, or wound.
In terms of use, invulnerable is used when you can't get hit at all. Invincible is when you can't take damage from an attack (think of a normal human punching Superman).
Which would be a better term for not being able to get hit?
In my opinion, it's invulnerability.
