The Reflection Beam is a Series EV defense that reflects a majority of enemy projectiles for increased damage. Exactly 25 HP is lost per reflected projectile.

Properties[]

Deflectable Projectiles[]

*In Redux, these projectiles can also be reflected on Ascension difficulty:

When a Projectile is Reflected[]

  • The Reflection Beam takes 25 damage.
  • The projectile instantly becomes 'friendly,' meaning that it can no longer damage defenses or players.
  • The projectile's damage is multiplied by a factor (depending on Beam Damage and upgrade level).
  • The projectile loses all vertical momentum; once reflected, it will ALWAYS travel perfectly horizontal. The reflected direction depends on the angle the projectile hit the beam.
  • Rockets from Goblin Copters do not home in on monsters.
  • Its height is sufficient to reflect everything without allowing anything over the top.

Stat Scaling[]

  • Stats measurements taken from 1-DU beams without upgrades or extra buffs.
  • The Reflection Beam has more health and a higher damage multiplier on Nightmare and Ascension.

Strategy[]

Reflection Beams are very useful for protecting crystals and defenses against enemy projectiles. They can prevent archers from sniping at crystals and spiders from crippling tight groups of defenses. Late into Survival Mode, they can block the ogres' poison projectiles which become a threat to defenses and the player's ability to repair them without interruptions.

These beams are particularly useful on warping core challenge maps, where commonly an Eternia Crystal will warp uncomfortably close to enemy spawns. Placing Reflection Beams between the crystal and spawn will prevent archers and mages from hitting the crystal from inside their spawn points.

On The Summit in Redux, on Ascension, reflectors can be placed in front of the dragon's landing zones to send his fireballs back at him once he is grounded.

Notes/Tips[]

  • Reflection Beams can also absorb the Siege Mech's flamethrower.
  • MYTH: While the Desert Goblin Sultan's shots cannot be sent back with Reflection Beams, a reflector will reduce the damage dealt by them.
