There's a few downsides with this card. Firstly it returns damage to the enemy attacker, not the entire team. It is kind of like critting except you have to wait for the opponent to attack you first. Secondly you have to wait for the skill to proc during your turn before you can return the damage on the opponent's successive turn.

That makes it worse than conventional AOE because when AOE procs, you win the round then and there (unless your opponent nullifies). Anotherrisk associated with this skill is that even with the 80% damage reduction, a max skilled and max stats UR AOE can still kill it (or any critter SR or above). So I'd rather not beat around the bush and win the round with an AOE skill proc.

If the skill mechanic changed to proccing on being hit rather than proc during own turn, then this card would be superior version of Nullification but with a lower % chance. It would actually be really good in DEF.
