View source for Damage reflection

'''Damage reflection''' is a game mechanic that makes an attacker (e.g. [[character]], [[monster]], [[trap]], etc.) hit himself. Usually it appears as a [[modifier]] that causes a [[damage]] dealt to a target to also be taken by an attacker; but this mechanic is also being used in other places.

==Mechanics==
Reflect cares about the [[damage taken]] after [[Receiving damage|mitigation]], not the amount of life removed.<ref name="ReflectDamageTaken"/><ref name="ReflectAfterMitigation"/> The '''offensive''' stats of a creature can affect ''whether'' it takes reflected damage ([[accuracy]], [[Block|block chance reduction]], etc.), but cannot affect the ''amount'' of damage dealt ([[critical strikes]], [[penetration]], ignoring [[resistance]], damage modifiers, etc).<ref name="ReflectMods"/>

Although reflected damage [[hit]]s, it intentionally doesn't trigger most on/when hit effects<ref name="ReflectNoOnHit"/> and, accordingly, ''cannot'' cause [[status ailment]]s,<ref name="ReflectNoAilments"/> [[stun]],<ref name="ReflectNoStun"/> critical strikes and other similar effects that require a hit. Reflected hit, however, is able to yield a [[Flask#Flask charges|flask charge]] if the Flagellant's [[Flask#Flask modifiers|prefix]] is present there.

===Damage sources===
Like any other damage, reflected damage has a [[damage sources|damage source]], or, to be more precise, one of three sources &ndash; [[attack]], [[spell]] or [[secondary]]. [[Damage over time]] doesn't hit and, therefore, can't be reflected. A source of reflected damage is always the same as a source of damage dealt to a target, e.g. if a creature hits with a spell, the reflected damage is a spell damage.<ref name="ReflectAfterMitigation"/>

===Interaction with leech===
[[Leech]] is processed before reflect damage.<ref name="ReflectOrder"/> Therefore the order of operations is:
:Hit a target -> Leech -> Receive reflected damage

===Reflect mitigation===
* Reflected attacks can be [[block]]ed and [[dodge]]d, and reflected spells can be blocked if the player has spell block or spell dodge.<ref name="ReflectBlocked"/> Block chance reduction will lower the characters block chance as well.<ref name="ReflectMods"/>
* Reflected damage is reduced by the attacker's [[armour]] and resistances. For instance if a player with 75% lightning [[resistance]] deals 100 lightning damage to a monster with 20% elemental damage reflection, the player will only take 5 of the reflected 20 lightning damage.
* Modifiers to damage taken, such as [[Fortify]] and {{il|Arctic Armour}}, also lessen reflected damage taken.
* If the reflected damage is attack damage, it can be [[evasion|evaded]]. It uses accuracy rating.<ref name="ReflectAccuracy"/>
** Consequently, reflected attack damage with the [[hits can't be evaded]] modifier cannot be evaded by the player. It can still be blocked or dodged.
* All [[damage over time]] effects cannot be reflected.
* Damage dealt by a player's [[totem]]s, [[traps]], [[mine]]s, and [[minion]]s will be reflected back to the totem/trap/mine/minion, not the player.
* Certain skills are explicitly stated to ignore reflection. Skills that ignore reflection are {{il|Herald of Ice}}, {{il|Infernal Cry}} and {{il|Detonate Dead}}.

==The dangers of damage reflection==
Reflection can be one of the most dangerous effects to encounter at high levels, especially for players focused on high damage output. A fast moving rare monster that appears quickly from off the screen can cause a large spike of damage to the player if hit by those high damage attacks or spells. Players must also be careful with skills that have a long duration (such as {{il|Spark}} supported by {{il|Pierce Support}} and {{il|Increased Duration Support}}), as once cast, they cannot be cancelled if a source of reflection appears.

Long-range attacks and spells can also be dangerous, as stray arrows and spells might hit a reflecting rare monster, causing a large amount of damage to the player.

Even monsters that are much lower level than the player and would normally pose no threat can prove deadly if affected by reflection, since the reflection is based on the player's damage output, not the monster's damage.

Reflection can sometimes be difficult to spot, especially in the heat of battle when the monster ability can be obscured by various skill effects.

===Unique items===
These items contain bonuses which deal reflect damage:
====Reflect damage to attackers====
{{Query unique items
|tables = item_stats
|join = item_stats._pageName=items._pageName
|where = item_stats.id LIKE "%damage_to_return_to%" OR item_stats.id LIKE "%to_deal_to_attacker%"

====Reflect damage on block====
{{Query unique items

|where = item_stats.id LIKE "%damage_to_return_on_block"
|large=1
|stat=1

====Self-reflect====
{{Query unique items
|tables = item_stats
|join = item_stats._pageName=items._pageName
|where = item_stats.id LIKE "%damage_to_reflect_to_self%"
|large=1
|stat=1
|level=1}}

===Monster modifiers===
Rare [[monster]]s can have the [[Modifier:MonsterThornsElemental1|Physical]] and [[Modifier:MonsterThornsElemental1|Elemental]] Thorns mods.

===Map modifiers===
Some [[Maps#Modifiers|map modifiers]] give all monsters in that map a damage reflection, either physical or elemental.

===Skill gems===
{{il|Molten Shell}}, {{il|Vaal Molten Shell}}, and [[Call of Steel]] deal reflected damage.

===Other===
Certain effects are typed as reflected damage, but are not necessarily triggered when taking damage. {{il|The Retch}} deals a percentage of leeched life as reflected chaos damage from leech targets.
