gone for a day and this is on 2nd page .
As longdong said, the armor is only protecting her torso area really :S. Everyone keeps saying that HR will think up a way to take out XLN, yet what I'm saying is that in a fight her intelligence only serves her better application of the Beat Dog Stick. What I'm saying is, that if she is applying the beat dog stick perfectly, while XLN is also applying her sword art perfectly, I highly doubt HuangRong can fend off the attacks. Yes...we know that HR has better inner strength (many will say greatly because of 9Yin). However, we also know that HR DIDN'T really set down any practice for 9Yin. So her inner strength shouldnt be anything near miles ahead of XLN. So you got a weapon capable of cutting, that moves extremely fast, and coming from all over because it's really two weapons that are wielded extremely well. In what way does HR stop this?
As for her armor protecting her from arrows...
O_O
that I didn't know lol, but I'm pretty sure that when QQR gave her that palm attack, he was hurt on the palm by the spikes. That's what I'm saying, the armor really isn't all that useful at helping her stay alive (in close combat). It just seems to deal damage to her attacker. Also, remember that she doesn't wear it in ROCH...ZBT has it if I remember correctly.
