Reflect is an action used in Hard Corps: Uprising.
Description
When standing idle, pressing the Action button will cause the player character to perform a swiping motion with their arm. If timed just before a minor bullet hits them, a small shield appears, and the bullet is reflected back at the firing enemy at high velocity. The player character may comment when reflecting a bullet.
The Reflect action is useful against the final phase of the Lux Corona.
Other uses
Although only usable in Uprising, several instances have been used throughout the series by enemies:
- In Hard Corps: Uprising, the red shielded Shield Soldier can block and convert bullet energy into energy bullets fired back at the player. Not all bullets can be absorbed by the shield, however (such as piercing weapons).
- In Contra: Rogue Corps, the Yokozuna Fiend can erect several energy plates around its enclosed eyes. If these plates are shot at, they will return fire with a long and speedy bullet for each round of fire it absorbs (one bullet absorbed by one plate immediately fires back one enemy bullet by that same plate that absorbed the bullet). This can prove dangerous if the player is firing with a RAPID firing weapon, as retaliation happens near instantly. If struck by a reflected bullet, the player is immediately knocked down for a few seconds. If not too close to the plates, it is possible to avoid the reflected bullets.
