Let assassins deflect unblockable attacks | Forums

The title really says it all. I can't see any downside to deflect working on unblockable attacks and it could make deflect slightly more useful.

If the UB skill in question is one flagged with attack direction indicator and with damage, and therefore not a UP, then I agree deflect should work on those as well.

Exactly what you said. I should have been a little more specific.

As far as i know, deflect does count as a block, because if you deflect/dodge the block indicator will be active for a short time, this is the window where you can deflect.

I think, that is the reason why you can't technicly deflect an unblockable.

But would be cool if it is possible.

good point which lead to the convlusion of not feasable and not fair for other hero. If unblockable attack can be blocked with deflect and parry it is not really unblockable .

As much as I love using deflect and how great this would be when I play assassins, mostly PK, I have to side with no. Like others have said deflect kind of counts as a block as the guard activates. Makes sense UB can't be deflected, would kind of make preforming an UB against assassins double risky, as now they have parry and deflect when parry is dangerous enough. Pro tip if you're fighting me and I'm on PK or any other assassin use your UB's if you got them. You'll most likely wreck me, cause I'll try to deflect it out of habit instead of parry before I realize I pulled a DUH. I'll just go "ahh crap... Unblockable... Duh. GG sir."
