Notes

• Consecutive attacks are uninterrupted sequences. If Deflect Melee's user counters in between incoming attacks, the number of consecutive attacks is reset.
  • Example: A quadruple hit from a brave weapon user gets the damage reduced on hits number 2, 3, and 4 - unless Deflect Melee's user performs a counterattack, in which case only the damage from hits number 2, and 4 is reduced.
• The damage reduction is calculated after offensive Specials and skills that deal extra damage, such as  Wo Dao+.
  • Damage reductions by percentage stack multiplicatively, unlike interactions related to the weapon-triangle, such as gem weapons and  Triangle Adept.
    • For example, if both  Urvan and  Deflect Magic 1 activate, the total damage reduction is 86% instead of 110%, since the two skills reduce the damage to (1 − 80%) × (1 − 30%) = 14% of the original.
  • For more information, see Damage calculation.
•  Twin Blades will neutralize Deflect Melee's damage reduction effect when it triggers.
