Recommended for: Elite Battlers

The main thing with all the 75% reflectors is that they are very pricey, and are best used by a very tanky pet (to survive the 25% that isn't reflected) against a very strong 1P opponent (to use their strength boost against them) that has a high chance of attacking with a specific element. If you are seriously considering getting one of these, it is assumed that you have a well-trained pet and a lot of NP to spare. So when it comes to rating these weapons, it really depends on if they have any viable and more affordable alternatives!

Alternatives:

For reflecting water, this has no comparable peer but a downgrade is Devine Defence Armour and a significantly more expensive upgrade is U-Bend of Great Justice.

For blocking water, Faerie Tabard is an excellent 100% blocker with a good spread of additional defense icons. You can also consider Blaze which includes a 66.6% water block amongst other effects, or the fairly inexpensive Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy for a simple 100% water block.

Price/Power (4/5)
Now has reached a point where it is incredibly cheap to use- 75% may not be as much bulk defensive potential as a full blocker but it can help turn the tide when common icons are in play.

Countermeasures (4/5)
Water is very useful to block as it has been the base hidden tower icon type due to weapons such as the Dr. Sloths Personal Bath Buddy and Kelpbeards Trident still filling the dome from their old heydays.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
The U-Bend of Great Justice is the best, with the Enchanted Kiko Squeeze Toy and Faerie Tabard being much more effective.

Other Points

Final Thoughts
One small leap for a reflector- one giant leap for reflector kind.
