Update on Deflect

By TheHoosh, in Rules

During an attack with an attack pool that includes a weapon with the immune: deflect keyword, the attacking unit cannot suffer wounds due to the defending unit using the deflect ability or the soresu mastery ability. •

The defending unit can still gain the benifits of the other effects of the deflect and soresu mastery keywords.

page 42 of the Rules updated for 9/12/19

What is the question?

Sorry no question, just pointing out they updated immune deflect that only the damage back was negated not the surge: block part of deflect. I had seen others say it negated all effects of deflect in the past

Wait, noob here. I thought these abilities were gained only for that specific attack/defence.

They are. What gave you the idea it might be otherwise?

Nevermind, I realized the absurd of what I said seconds after I posted...

I read "gain the benefits" as something more permanent (for that whole round) instead as "use the benefits".
