Deflect

While a unit with the Deflect keyword defends against a Ranged attack or uses the Guardian X keyword, its surge conversion chart gains def. surge:block. Additionally, during the Convert Defense Surges step before converting def. surge results, the attacker suffers 1 Wound if there is at least 1 def. surge result in the defense roll. When a unit with the Deflect keyword uses the Guardian X keyword, before converting any defense surges, the attacker suffers 1 Wound if at least 1 of the dice rolled with Guardian X rolled at least 1 def. surge result.

If the Deflect keyword causes the attacking unit to be defeated, the attack continues, and the defender can still suffer Wounds.

While defending or using the Guardian X keyword against an attack made only with weapons that have the High Velocity keyword, the Deflect keyword has no effect.
