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 (Dice BlockSurge) are converted to block (Dice 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 (Dice Hit), 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.
