It halves ALL incoming damage (Magic, Physical AND True).
It returns half of that as True damage (which means it ignores the enemy's DEF and MR)
It hits all enemies, even if the original attack was single target.

Should it be adjusted? I don't know. It's really powerful early on, but by the time you're starting to farm Underworld Madness you're likely moving away from it to more damaging abilities (I still use my soldier, but I don't usually cast reflect - he does plenty of AoE damage with his regular attack). If PVP becomes a thing, probably.

As for only leveling "safe bets" - if that's how you want to play, sure. But I'm with Gonzo - I'm going to level what I have and use. If it gets nerfed later, well that's just part of playing an online game.
Honestly man, I've tried many other troopers in place of my 4 star blue allied soldier, and most of the time Even just using his AOE attack and not healing with my red dog, I'll level most of the enemies in the first turn; however, the blue allied soldier is still my most consistent character, it's reflect shield is priceless, it's so overpowered I feel its retarded (full blown easy mode).
As for the safe bet talismans, I'm basically referring to the blue ones and the green ones (health overwhelming/ward, and paladin/whatever). I'd love to use freeze, paralysis, vampiric, but they're either broken, or not worth it due to the lack of AOE/correct character. The shield talismans seem to be terrible, all of them are worse than the reflect shield, even if they were passive abilities they still wouldn't be as good as the reflect shield. The penetrating talismans should be good and I haven't tried the red ones, but the blue ones don't seem to work either. :/
The yellow ones seem to be witchcraft still so I'm hesitant to upgrade them, (I don't even know if I have all the types of yellow ones). I don't have a character to fit the purple ones :/

Again, PvP seems like 6months away with all the bug fixes that need to be implemented.
