Deflection is a defensive ability which allows a target to reflect damage and stuns back to an attacker.

Typically this is provided by Deflector Specials.

If the attacker is also wearing a Deflector, it will not protect him from receiving his own stun.
Deflection does not reduce the original damage done to the target.
damage is never deflected back against NPCs.
Deflectors will absorb stuns from NPCs; they will not deflect it back.
Deflectors cannot block stuns from Battle Ram specials.
Deflectors cannot block stuns from Intradictors during Garrison Engagements.
Deflectors will not reflect stuns that come from Splash damage.

Example

The attacker's damage output is unchanged by the Deflector.
The attacker suffers a percentage of that damage based on the rarity of the target's Deflector.
The attacker's damage modifier and the target's damage vulnerability modifier come into play during the exchange.
The damage deflected back to the attacker is the target's deflect percentage multiplied by the attacker's damage.

Attacker A shoots Target T
- Attacker A has a +10% damage modifier
- Attacker A has -5% damage vulnerability modifier
- Target T has +20% damage vulnerability modifier
- Target T has +25% damage modifier
- Target T has a Legendary Deflector that deflects 15% damage back at attacker
- Attacker A's minimum damage is 100
Attacker A fires and rolls 100 damage (equal to his minimum)
- Attacker A's +10% damage modifier kicks in
- Target T's +20% damage vulnerability kicks in
- Target T suffers 132 damage (100 * 1.1 * 1.2)
- Target T DEFLECTS 20 damage back to Attacker A (132 * 0.15)
Attacker A's -5% damage vulnerability modifier does not come into play
Target T's +25% damage modifier does not come into play.
