Knockback and Toughness/Invuln/Imperv

[SingleJohn]

Well, a couple of my friends and I were playing Wholly Hurricane and a lot of guys were getting hit into walls. Does toughness/invulnerability/Impervious affect knockback damage?!

Yes it does however, if you suffer knockback damage from an actual attack the damage from the knockback is added to the damage of the attack and you only subtract invulnerability once.

Ex: Juggernaut is on top of a building and has invulnerability. He gets shot for 3 but falls off the building and takes an additional 2 clicks of damage for a total of 5.

5 - 2 (invul) = Juggy takes 3 clicks.

The only exception in this particular scenario would be Impervious because of the wording. Since the knockback damage does not come from a 'targeted' attack. Impervious does not work.

On the other hand if we take the Juggernaut scenario again Impervious would work because the knockback damage is a result of a targeted attack's damage.
