Hau

The Kanohi Hau was the Kanohi Mask of Shielding. It gave the user the ability to protect himself from any seen attack, but it was useless against ambush.

The Noble version acts the same but provides a weaker shield.

Gali, Onua, Pohatu, Kopaka, and Lewa all found their Great Hau but lost them when they became Toa Nuva.

Example Usage
Onua used his Hau once to deflect the tentacles of Teridax. The shield vanished when Teridax ambushed him.
