    Deflect should break chains

    Simply if I deflect a warlor leaping heavy he is still able to throw the headbutt.

    Deflect should break chains

    Anyone agree or disagree

    This would help the assassin class immensely, we are already the squishes of for honor.

    Also can you be deflected if you have revenge come new patch.

    So block or parry then.

    Deflection is a hybrid between defense and offense. With correct prediction it most usually lands your immediate counter attacks before enemy has recovered from previous action.

    You really can't expect deflect to have all the same merits as other three reactive defensive options without any drawbacks, IMO.

    Hate Zerker for this

    agreed, Deflect should stop any chain.

    Btw, how about unblockables? it can be deflected or not? havent tried it yet

    Nah deflect should not stop chains.. that'll make deflect not a deflect...
    Orochi can deflect heavy trade zerker top heavy, or can deflect light to counter headbutt in my experience.
    instead deflect should give you some extra defense or something for a very short time.

    Also you cannot deflect an unblockable, which is annoying xD

    Deflect for shinobi is currently broken though. The light attack or kick after avdeflect almost always never hits or reaches the opponent, and also the bleed damage from multiple doesn't stack. And you can't do any damage with it until the first deflect bleed has ran out.
