UNIT KEYWORD[]
The deflect keyword allows a unit to gain additional benefits from spending dodge tokens.
- While a unit that has the deflect keyword is defending, if it spends a dodge token, any defense surge results (
) are converted to block (
) results; additionally, if the attack is ranged, the attacker suffers one wound for each surge result rolled by the defender during the “Roll Defense Dice” step.
- The defender must spend a dodge token to gain the benefits of the deflect keyword. Spending this dodge token cancels one hit result (
), as normal. The defender may spend additional dodge tokens to cancel additional hits; however, doing so does not improve or add to the benefits of the deflect keyword.
- If the defender uses the deflect keyword during an attack, it is possible for the attacker to be defeated during the “Roll Defense Dice” step. If the deflect keyword inflicts a number of wounds that causes the attacker to be defeated, the attack still continues and the defender can still suffer wounds.
