Shield Deflection
Modifier · defense
Shield deflection — a mitigation channel, not the shield HP pool (that is Max Shield HP) and not the share of damage sent to shields (that is Shield Mitigation). Countered by the attacker’s Shield Piercing, and weighted 0.55 on an Explorer against 0.2 on a Battleship or Interceptor. It keeps working after your shields are down: deflection reduces the damage whether or not a pool remains to absorb what is left. It is also granted by the umbrella stat Defenses, so bonuses to that raise this too.
