Deflection

Attack Deflection

Attack deflection happens when an enemy hits the player and his weapon bounces back, stunning him and causing Instability Frames.

A hidden stat can be increased to deflect attacks, the higher it is, more attacks will be deflected. This stat can be found in:

• The Perseverance Weapon Art (only when getting hit by one-handed weapons)
• Iron Flesh
• Rockflesh
• Catarina Set
• Runic Seal

Projectile Deflection

Projectile deflection consists on hitting a projectile with an attack, deflecting it and taking no damage in the process.

Ammunition and some consumable items like Throwing Knifes can be deflected, but not Firebombs.

Attacks that can deflect projectiles are:

• Flame Fan
• Force
• The multi-slash Weapon Art from the Frayed Blade
• The Wind Wheel Weapon Art from the Splitleaf Glaive
• The Wind Wall Weapon Art from the Drakewing Ultra Greatsword

Spell Deflection

When a spell is deflected its trajectory deviates, avoiding the collision with the player.

Most spells that act as projectiles can be deflected.

The player's own spells can also be deflected if the deflection effect lasts enough to affect them.

Effects that deflect spells:

• Spell Parry
• The Shield Bash Weapon Art from the King's Mirror
• Twisted Wall of Light
• Cursed Ring of Deflection
• Moonlight Arrow
• Magic Bolt
• Moonlight Greatarrow
